    Error Message Text:

    VR037: "The valuation area & & does not exist in the plant &"


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system cannot find the specified valuation area assigned to the given plant in the material master or during a transaction involving inventory valuation. In SAP, a valuation area typically corresponds to a plant or company code level where material valuation is maintained.

    Common causes include:

    • The valuation area is not maintained or assigned to the plant in customizing.
    • The material master is being processed for a plant that does not have the valuation area defined.
    • Incorrect or missing configuration in the IMG (Implementation Guide) related to valuation areas and plants.
    • Data inconsistency or missing master data.

    Solution:

    1. Check Valuation Area Configuration:

      • Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Valuation and Account Assignment ? Valuation ? Maintain Valuation Areas.
      • Verify that the valuation area exists and is correctly assigned to the plant in question.
    2. Assign Valuation Area to Plant:

      • If missing, assign the valuation area to the plant.
      • Usually, the valuation area is the plant itself, but in some cases, it can be different (e.g., company code level).
    3. Check Material Master Data:

      • Verify that the material master has the correct plant and valuation area data.
      • Use transaction MM03 to display the material master and check the valuation data.
    4. Review Customizing Settings:

      • Check the settings under SPRO ? Materials Management ? Valuation and Account Assignment ? Valuation ? Define Valuation Areas.
      • Ensure that the valuation area is active and properly configured.
    5. Data Consistency:

      • Run consistency checks or use transaction MMBE to check stock overview and valuation areas.
      • If necessary, correct master data or reassign valuation areas.

    Related Information:

    • Valuation Area: The organizational level at which material valuation is carried out. Usually, this is the plant.
    • Plant: The organizational unit within logistics where materials are stored and managed.
    • Material Master: Contains data related to materials, including valuation data per plant/valuation area.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • MM01/MM02/MM03: Create/Change/Display Material Master
      • SPRO: Customizing Implementation Guide
      • MMBE: Stock Overview

    Summary:

    The VR037 error indicates a missing or incorrect valuation area assignment for a plant. Correcting the configuration in customizing and ensuring the material master data aligns with the valuation area setup will resolve the issue.
