  The SAP error message VAL105 indicates that during the valuation of a position, there were no write-ups or write-downs calculated.

  Causes of VAL105
  
  
  No Change in Value: The most common cause is that the market value of the asset or inventory has not changed since the last valuation. Therefore, there are no adjustments needed.
  
  
  Incorrect Valuation Method: The valuation method configured for the asset or inventory may not be appropriate for the current situation, leading to no adjustments being calculated.
  
  
  Data Entry Issues: There may be issues with the data entered for the asset or inventory, such as incorrect valuation parameters or missing information.
