• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WN126 - Valuation area & not same as company code & ?

  The SAP error message WN126 indicates that there is a mismatch between the valuation area and the company code in the context of inventory management or material valuation. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves materials, and the system expects the valuation area to be consistent with the company code.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Area Configuration: The valuation area is usually defined at the plant level or company code level. If the valuation area is set to a different plant or company code than the one you are trying to use, this error will occur.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may have been set up incorrectly, where the valuation area does not correspond to the company code.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are trying to execute may require a specific valuation area that does not match the company code you are working with.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics > Materials Management > Valuation and Account Assignment > Define Valuation Area.
  Ensure that the valuation area is correctly assigned to the relevant company code.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Use Transaction MM03 to display the material master data.
  Check the valuation area and ensure it matches the company code you are working with.
  If necessary, update the material master data using Transaction MM02 to correct the valuation area.
  
  
  
  Transaction Review:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are executing is appropriate for the valuation area and company code you are using.
  If you are trying to post a document, ensure that all relevant data (like plant, storage location, etc.) is correctly entered.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
