    Error Message
    W7031: Material &1 is a value-only material
    
    Cause
    This warning message occurs when you try to perform an operation on a material that is defined as a value-only material in SAP. A value-only material is a material master record that does not have quantity management enabled. Instead, it is managed only by value (monetary amount), not by physical stock quantities.
    In other words, the system recognizes that the material is set up to track only the value (e.g., for accounting or financial purposes) but not the quantity. Operations that require quantity management (like goods movements, stock postings, or inventory management) will trigger this warning because the material is not set up for such transactions.
    
    When does this occur?
    
    When you try to post goods movements (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue) for a material that is flagged as value-only.
