• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OD146 - Val type &1 of PO &2 item &3 and val type of des batch &4 do not match. ?

  The SAP error message OD146 indicates a mismatch between the valuation type of a Purchase Order (PO) item and the valuation type of the associated batch. This typically occurs in scenarios where batch management is enabled, and the system is trying to process a transaction that involves both the PO and a batch of material.
  Cause:
  
  
  Valuation Type Mismatch: The valuation type defined in the material master for the batch does not match the valuation type specified in the purchase order item. This can happen if:
  
  The material is set up with different valuation types in the material master.
  The batch was created with a different valuation type than what is expected in the PO.
  
  
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The configuration for batch management may not be aligned with the material's valuation settings.
  
  
  Incorrect PO Entry: The purchase order may have been created with an incorrect valuation type or without considering the batch's valuation type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master: 
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the valuation type for the material in question. Ensure that the valuation type matches what is expected in the purchase order.
  
  
  
  Review Purchase Order:
  
  Check the purchase order (transaction code ME23N) for the item in question. Verify the valuation type specified in the PO item and ensure it aligns with the batch's valuation type.
  
  
  
  Batch Valuation Type:
  
  If the batch has been created with a specific valuation type, ensure that it is correctly assigned and that it matches the valuation type in the PO.
  
  
  
  Adjust PO or Batch:
  
  If there is a mismatch, you may need to either adjust the purchase order to match the batch's valuation type or create a new batch with the correct valuation type.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the batch management settings and valuation type settings are correctly configured in the system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Batch Management: Understand how batch management works in SAP and how valuation types are defined and used.

  Transaction Codes:

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the OD146 error and ensure that the valuation types are consistent across your purchase orders and batches.
