  SAP Error Message WR011
  Message Text:
  
  Inventory can only be revaluated at rtl at start of rtl cond. val. period
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This error occurs during the revaluation of inventory in SAP Retail (IS-Retail) when you attempt to perform a revaluation at a time other than the start of the retail condition valuation period.
  
  In SAP Retail, inventory revaluation is controlled by condition valuation periods (usually monthly or quarterly).
  The system expects that inventory revaluation (RTL = Retail) can only be done at the beginning of the condition valuation period.
  If you try to revaluate inventory in the middle or end of a valuation period, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent valuation.
  
  
  When does this happen?
  
  During retail price revaluation or inventory revaluation processes.
  When the revaluation date is not aligned with the start date of the condition valuation period.
  Possibly during period-end closing activities or price updates.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix
  
  
  Check the valuation period:
  
  Verify the condition valuation periods defined in your system.
  Use transaction WRTV (Condition Valuation Periods) to check the start and end dates of the valuation periods.
  
  
  
  Align revaluation date:
  
  Ensure that the date you are using for inventory revaluation corresponds exactly to the start date of a valuation period.
  If you want to revaluate inventory, schedule it at the beginning of the valuation period.
  
  
  
  Adjust the revaluation date:
  
  If you have entered a date that is not the start of the valuation period, change it to the correct start date.
  
  
  
  Check customizing settings:
  
  Review the settings in Retail Pricing and Condition Valuation customizing.
  Make sure the condition valuation periods are correctly maintained and consistent with your business calendar.
  
  
  
  If necessary, create a new valuation period:
  
  If the current valuation periods do not fit your business needs, you may need to create or adjust valuation periods.
