How To Fix OM170 - No provision for value posting

OM170 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: OM - Customizing Materialwirtschaft

• Message number: 170

• Message text: No provision for value posting

What causes this issue?

No posting string has been defined for the simulation scenario defined.
That is, no provision has been made for value postings in the
accounting system.
Accessing the value string in table T156S (movement type quantity/value
posting) is carried out in the first instance via movement type &V1&
with the indicators for special stock, movement, receipt and
consumption (&V2&) that define it more precisely. On the other hand,
accessing also depends on the quantity and value update indicators that
are stored for the combination plant &V3& /material type &V4& in table
T134W (quantity/value control) and are displayed on the simulation
screen. A relevant T156 entry was found, but this did not define a
value string. This T156 entry may be inconsistent.
