• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMD_MSG023 - Only price control "V" is possible for split valuation & & ?

  The SAP error message PMD_MSG023 indicates that there is an issue with the price control settings for materials that are managed under split valuation. Specifically, it states that only price control "V" (moving average price) is allowed for materials that are subject to split valuation.
  Cause:
  
  
  Split Valuation: Split valuation allows you to manage different valuations for the same material based on different criteria (e.g., quality, origin, etc.). When a material is set up for split valuation, it can have multiple stock types (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked).
  
  
  Price Control Settings: In SAP, materials can be controlled by different pricing methods, such as:
  
  "V": Moving Average Price
  "S": Standard Price
  "F": Future Price
  
  For materials with split valuation, only the moving average price ("V") is permitted. If the material is set up with a different price control (like "S" or "F"), this error will occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings: 
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM02).
  Check the valuation data for the material in question.
  Ensure that the price control is set to "V" for the relevant valuation types.
  
  
  
  Change Price Control:
  
  If the material is incorrectly set with a different price control, you will need to change it to "V". Note that changing the price control from "S" to "V" may require additional steps, such as adjusting the stock valuation or creating a new material.
  
  
  
  Review Split Valuation Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the split valuation is correctly configured in your system. You can check this in the configuration settings under SPRO -> Logistics - General -> Material Master -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Split Valuation.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about making changes, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:

  MM03: Display Material Master

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  
  
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in material management are trained on the implications of split valuation and price control settings to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the PMD_MSG023 error and ensure that your material master records are correctly configured for split valuation.
