  Error Message
  WR004: Valuation data for material & and valuation area & not maintained
  
  & placeholders represent the material number and valuation area respectively.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the system cannot find valuation data for the specified material in the given valuation area. In SAP Materials Management (MM), valuation data is essential for inventory valuation and price determination. If the valuation data is missing for a material in a particular valuation area (usually a plant or company code), the system cannot proceed with transactions like goods movements, invoice verification, or material valuation.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The material master record does not have valuation data maintained for the valuation area.
  The material is not extended to the plant/valuation area.
  The valuation class or price control is not set properly.
  The material master was created but valuation data was not maintained during creation or extension.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain valuation data for the material in the specified valuation area.
  Steps:
  
  
  Check if the material is extended to the valuation area (plant):
  
  Use transaction MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material).
  Enter the material number.
  Check if the material is extended to the plant/valuation area where the error occurs.
  If not extended, extend the material to the plant.
  
  
  
  Maintain Valuation Data:
  
  In MM02, select the Accounting 1 and Accounting 2 views.
  Enter the valuation area (plant).
  Maintain the following:
  
  Valuation class (links material to G/L accounts)
  Price control indicator (S = Standard price, V = Moving average price)
  Standard price or moving average price (depending on price control)
  Other relevant fields like Price unit, Price currency, etc.
  
  
  
  
  
  Save the changes.
  
  
  Re-run the transaction that caused the error.
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Valuation Area: Usually corresponds to a plant or company code depending on configuration.
  Valuation Class: Determines the G/L accounts for inventory postings.
  Price Control: Defines how the material price is managed (standard or moving average).
  If you are unsure about the valuation class or price control, consult your finance or controlling team.
  Sometimes, the error can occur during invoice verification or goods receipt if the material master is incomplete.
