• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MY038 - All valuation areas set for company code & ?

  The SAP error message MY038 indicates that all valuation areas are set for a specific company code, which typically means that the system is unable to process a transaction because it requires a valuation area to be defined for the company code in question.
