  The SAP error message QE385 ("No valid values available - valuation cannot be carried out") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when trying to perform a valuation of inspection lots or when processing quality notifications. This error indicates that the system cannot find valid values for the valuation process, which can be due to several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Missing or Incorrect Master Data: The material master or inspection plan may not be set up correctly. This includes missing valuation classes or incorrect settings in the material master record.
  Valuation Type Not Defined: The valuation type for the material may not be defined in the system, or it may not be linked to the appropriate valuation class.
  Quality Inspection Settings: The quality inspection settings may not be properly configured, leading to the inability to carry out the valuation.
  No Inspection Results: If there are no inspection results recorded for the inspection lot, the system cannot perform a valuation.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the required data for valuation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and ensure that the valuation class is correctly assigned.
