• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR424 - Maximum number of modes reached ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR424 - Maximum number of modes reached
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR424 occurs when the maximum number of modes allowed for a particular valuation area or valuation type in the SAP system has been reached. In SAP Materials Management (MM) and Inventory Management, "modes" often refer to valuation modes or price determination modes used in the valuation of materials.
  This typically happens when you try to define or assign more valuation modes than the system configuration or customizing allows. The system has a predefined limit on how many modes can be maintained for a given context, and exceeding this limit triggers the error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While configuring valuation types or valuation classes.
  When assigning price determination modes in material valuation.
  During customization in transaction codes related to material valuation or price control.
  When trying to add a new mode beyond the system's allowed maximum.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the current number of modes assigned:
  
  Review the existing valuation modes or price determination modes assigned to the valuation area or valuation type.
  Use transaction codes like OMWN (for valuation control) or relevant IMG paths.
  
  
  
  Remove unused or redundant modes:
  
  If there are modes that are no longer needed or used, delete or deactivate them to free up space.
  
  
  
  Increase the allowed number of modes (if possible):
  
  In some cases, the maximum number of modes is controlled by a system parameter or customizing setting.
  Check the IMG path related to valuation and price determination to see if the limit can be increased.
  Note: This is rarely adjustable and depends on SAP system version and configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes or Support:
  
  If the limit cannot be changed via customizing, check SAP Notes for any patches or recommendations.
  Contact SAP Support if the issue persists and you need to increase the limit beyond the standard maximum.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Valuation Types and Valuation Areas:
  
  Valuation types allow differentiation of stock valuation within a valuation area (usually a plant). Each valuation type can have different price determination modes.
  
  
  Price Determination Modes:
  
  These modes define how the system determines the price for a material (e.g., standard price, moving average price).
  
  
  IMG Path for Valuation Control:
  
  Logistics ? Materials Management ? Valuation and Account Assignment ? Account Determination ? Price Control
  
  
  Common Transactions:
  
  OMWN - Define Valuation Control
  MM02 - Change Material Master (to check valuation data)
  OMX1 - Define Valuation Types
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Service Marketplace or SAP ONE Support Launchpad for notes related to VR424 or valuation mode limits.
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: You have reached the maximum number of valuation modes allowed in the system for a valuation area/type.
  Solution: Remove unused modes or check if the limit can be increased via customizing; otherwise, consult SAP support.
  Check: Valuation control customizing and material valuation settings.
