• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPPCE/01084 - Order type &1 has service items where goods receipt is valuated ?

  The SAP error message /SAPPCE/01084 indicates that there is an issue with the order type specified in the message, particularly concerning service items that are associated with goods receipts that are valuated. This typically occurs in the context of service procurement and can arise in various scenarios, such as when trying to create or process a purchase order or service order.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  The order type specified (denoted by &1 in the message) is configured to handle service items, but those service items are linked to a goods receipt that is expected to be valuated.
  The system does not allow for the combination of service items and goods receipts that are valuated, as service items are generally not associated with physical goods that can be received and valued in the same way as material items.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the order type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly for handling service items. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team or refer to the relevant customizing settings in SPRO.
  
  
  
  Review Service Items:
  
  Verify the service items in the order. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that they do not require a goods receipt that is valuated. If the service items should not be valuated, adjust their settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Purchase Order/Service Order:
  
  If you are trying to create or modify a purchase order or service order, ensure that you are not mixing service items with goods receipt processes that expect valuation. You may need to separate the service items from the goods items or adjust the order type being used.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
