• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHURM059 - Material is valuated separately - please enter valuation type ?

  The SAP error message VHURM059 indicates that the material you are trying to process is set up for separate valuation, which means that it requires a specific valuation type to be entered. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management and material valuation in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that have multiple valuation types (e.g., different types of stock such as unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked stock, etc.).
  Cause:
  
  Separate Valuation: The material is configured to be valuated separately, which means it has multiple valuation types defined in the system.
  Missing Valuation Type: When you attempt to perform a transaction (like goods movement, inventory posting, etc.) involving this material, the system requires you to specify which valuation type you are referring to, but it has not been provided.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to specify the valuation type when processing the material. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Valuation Type:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material (Transaction Code: MM03).
  Check the accounting view to see the valuation types that are defined for the material.
  
  
  
  Enter Valuation Type:
  
  When performing the transaction that triggered the error, ensure that you enter the appropriate valuation type in the relevant field.
  If you are using a transaction that allows for multiple valuation types, make sure to select the correct one from the dropdown or input it manually.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you are unsure about the valuation types or if they are not set up correctly, you may need to consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant to ensure that the material is set up properly in the system.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on how to handle materials with separate valuation types and understand the importance of entering the correct valuation type during transactions.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master: The material master record contains all the information related to a material, including its valuation type.
  Valuation Types: Valuation types are used in SAP to differentiate between different stock types of the same material (e.g., different quality levels, stock locations).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material) for managing material master data.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
