  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB370 Choose either application 'M' or 'V'
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when a user is required to specify the application area for a particular transaction or process, but neither of the valid options has been selected. In SAP, certain processes or reports require you to choose between application 'M' (Materials Management) or 'V' (Sales and Distribution). If you leave this field blank or select an invalid option, the system issues this warning.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Application 'M' stands for Materials Management.
  Application 'V' stands for Sales and Distribution (Vertrieb in German).
  
  The system needs this input to determine which business area or module the process should be executed in, as the logic or data involved differs between these applications.
  
  Solution:
  
  When prompted by this message, choose either 'M' or 'V' in the application field.
  If the field is a dropdown or selection box, select the appropriate application based on your business requirement.
  If you are unsure which application to choose:
  
  For processes related to purchasing, inventory, or materials, select 'M'.
  For processes related to sales orders, deliveries, or billing, select 'V'.
  
  
  If this message appears unexpectedly or the field is not visible, check the transaction or report selection screen for the application field and ensure it is filled correctly.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (W_), so it may allow you to continue after making the selection.
  The message is commonly encountered in reports or transactions related to inventory valuation, sales reporting, or material management.
  If you are customizing or developing reports, ensure that the application parameter is correctly handled and validated.
  In some cases, this message can be triggered by user exits or custom code that requires the application parameter.
