• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR210 - Target evaluation is the same as source evaluation ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR210 - Target evaluation is the same as source evaluation
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during a valuation or revaluation process in SAP (typically in Asset Accounting or Material Ledger) when the system detects that the target valuation area (or evaluation) is identical to the source valuation area. Essentially, the system expects the target valuation to be different from the source to perform a meaningful revaluation or transfer of values. If both are the same, the operation is redundant or logically incorrect.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During asset revaluation or transfer of values between valuation areas.
  When trying to perform a valuation run or posting where the source and target valuation areas are specified.
  In Material Ledger or Inventory Valuation when transferring or revaluating stock values.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Source evaluation: The current valuation area or method from which values are taken.
  Target evaluation: The valuation area or method to which values are to be transferred or revaluated.
  
  If both are the same, the system cannot proceed because it would mean revaluing or transferring values to the same valuation, which is logically inconsistent.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the valuation areas/settings:
  
  Verify the valuation areas or evaluation methods you have entered for the source and target.
  Ensure that the target valuation area is different from the source valuation area.
  
  
  
  Correct the input parameters:
  
  When running the transaction or program, specify a different target valuation area than the source.
  For example, if you are revaluating from valuation area A, the target should be valuation area B.
  
  
  
  Review configuration:
  
  In Asset Accounting, check the valuation areas assigned to company codes and asset classes.
  In Material Ledger, check the valuation types and their assignments.
  
  
  
  Check the transaction or program logic:
  
  If you are using a custom program or user exit, ensure that the logic does not set the same valuation area for both source and target.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Asset Accounting revaluation transactions (e.g., AR01, AR02)
  Material Ledger valuation runs (e.g., CKMLCP, CKMLCPR)

  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to valuation area and revaluation errors.
  Refer to SAP Help Portal for Asset Accounting and Material Ledger valuation processes.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If unsure, debug the program or check the logs to see where the source and target valuation areas are set.
  Look for user inputs or configuration that might cause the same valuation area to be used.
