  SAP Error Message: W7083 - Article no longer value-managed / Note 663279: Execute VKU11
  
  Cause:
  The warning message W7083 occurs when you try to process a material (article) in a sales document or pricing procedure that was previously managed with value-based pricing or value management, but the material master data has been changed such that it is no longer value-managed.
  This situation typically arises when:
  
  The material was previously set up for value-based pricing (e.g., using value-based conditions or value management).
  The material master data has been changed, and the value management indicator has been removed or altered.
  The system detects inconsistency between the current material master settings and the pricing procedure or condition records.
  
  Note 663279 is related to this issue and provides guidance on how to handle the transition or inconsistency.
  
  What is Value Management in SAP?
  Value Management in SAP is a pricing strategy where the price of a material is managed based on its value rather than just quantity or standard price. It often involves special condition types and pricing procedures.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Execute Transaction VKU11:
  
  The note 663279 recommends running transaction VKU11.
  VKU11 is used to update or reset the value management data for the material.
  This transaction helps to synchronize the material master data with the pricing conditions and value management settings.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Verify the material master (MM02) for the relevant material.
  Check the Value Management indicator or related fields in the material master.
  If the material should be value-managed, ensure the indicator is set correctly.
  If the material is no longer value-managed, ensure that pricing procedures and condition records are adjusted accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Pricing Procedure or Condition Records:
  
  Review the pricing procedure to ensure it aligns with the current material master settings.
  Remove or adjust any value-based condition types if the material is no longer value-managed.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks between material master, pricing procedures, and condition records.
  Ensure no obsolete or conflicting data remains.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  SAP Note 663279: This note provides detailed instructions on how to handle the transition from value-managed to non-value-managed articles and how to use VKU11 to correct inconsistencies.
  The warning W7083 is informational but should be addressed to avoid pricing errors or inconsistencies in sales documents.
  If you are unsure whether the material should be value-managed, consult your pricing or master data team.
  Always test changes in a development or quality system before applying in production.
