• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P2120 - Enter one valuation only ?

  The SAP error message P2120 "Enter one valuation only" typically occurs in the context of material valuation in SAP, particularly when dealing with material master records or inventory management. This error indicates that the system expects a single valuation method to be specified, but multiple valuations have been entered or the input is ambiguous.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Valuation Methods: The error often arises when a user tries to enter more than one valuation method for a material. For example, if the system is set up to use a specific valuation method (like moving average, standard price, etc.), and the user attempts to enter another method, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the material master or valuation area may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts in the valuation methods.
  Data Entry Errors: Sometimes, the error can be caused by simple data entry mistakes, such as entering values in the wrong fields or not following the required format.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Valuation Method: Review the material master record to ensure that only one valuation method is specified. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction code MM02) and checking the accounting view.
  Correct Configuration: If the valuation methods are set up incorrectly in the configuration, you may need to adjust the settings in the Customizing (transaction code SPRO) under the relevant sections for material valuation.
  Data Entry Review: Ensure that you are entering data in the correct fields and that you are not inadvertently entering multiple values where only one is allowed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific guidance on the valuation methods applicable to your organization’s setup.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to material valuation include MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material).
  Valuation Methods: Familiarize yourself with the different valuation methods available in SAP, such as Standard Price (S), Moving Average Price (V), and others.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message, as there may be specific fixes or updates provided by SAP.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to the material master, as insufficient permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
