• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECEPR353 - Valuation correction for initial valuation not permitted ?

  The SAP error message RECEPR353 indicates that a valuation correction for the initial valuation is not permitted. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management and valuation in SAP, particularly when dealing with goods movements, stock transfers, or inventory adjustments.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Initial Valuation Restrictions: The system does not allow changes to the initial valuation of stock items once they have been posted. This is a safeguard to maintain the integrity of financial data.
  
  
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type used for the transaction may not allow for valuation corrections.
  
  
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may have restrictions on valuation changes.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may not permit valuation corrections for certain materials or under specific conditions.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Type: Ensure that the document type you are using allows for valuation corrections. If not, you may need to use a different document type or adjust your process.
  
  
  Review Stock Type: Verify the stock type of the material in question. If it is in a restricted stock type, you may need to move it to unrestricted stock before making valuation changes.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Material Management (MM) module to ensure that valuation corrections are permitted for the materials you are working with. This may involve checking the valuation area settings and the material master data.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: If you are trying to make a valuation correction, ensure you are using the correct transaction code (e.g., MR21 for price changes) and that the transaction is appropriate for the type of valuation adjustment you are attempting.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling valuation corrections and the implications of initial valuations.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:

  MB1A: Goods Withdrawal
