• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NSDM_MESSAGES026 - Stock type &1 &2 is not allowed for value-only materials ?

  The SAP error message NSDM_MESSAGES026 indicates that a specific stock type is not allowed for value-only materials. This typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory management within SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that are classified as "value-only" (i.e., materials that do not have physical stock but are tracked for their value).
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to perform an operation (such as posting a goods movement or stock transfer) involving a stock type that is not compatible with value-only materials. Value-only materials are usually used for financial tracking rather than physical inventory management, and certain stock types (like unrestricted stock, quality inspection stock, etc.) are not applicable to them.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Type: Verify that the material in question is indeed set up as a value-only material. You can do this by checking the material master data in the SAP system.
  
  
  Review Stock Type: Ensure that the stock type you are trying to use is appropriate for value-only materials. Typically, value-only materials should not be associated with physical stock types.
  
  
  Adjust Transaction: If you are trying to perform a transaction that involves a stock type, consider using a different transaction that is appropriate for value-only materials. For example, you may need to use a financial posting instead of a goods movement.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you believe the stock type should be allowed for value-only materials, consult with your SAP configuration team. There may be settings in the system that need to be adjusted to allow for this.
  
  
  Documentation and Support: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with SAP support for more detailed guidance on handling value-only materials and the specific stock types that are allowed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the specific material to understand its configuration and settings.
  Stock Types: Familiarize yourself with the different stock types in SAP and their implications for inventory management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in inventory management are trained on the handling of value-only materials to prevent similar errors in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a suitable solution.
