This error typically arises in the context of batch management and production planning, particularly when dealing with materials that are subject to specific valuation methods.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The reference material (the material from which the batch is derived) is set up in a way that it should not be valuated, but the system is attempting to process it as if it were valuated.

  There may be inconsistencies in the batch management settings or the material master data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:

  Review Batch Management Settings:
