• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR051 - Plant or valuation area missing for revaluation at retail ?

  The SAP error message WR051: "Plant or valuation area missing for revaluation at retail" typically occurs in the context of Retail Pricing and Revaluation processes. Here's a detailed explanation of the cause, solution, and related information:
  
  Cause:
  
  The error WR051 arises when the system attempts to perform a revaluation at retail price but cannot find the Plant or Valuation Area assigned or maintained for the material or the retail price condition.
  In SAP Retail, revaluation at retail requires the system to know the valuation area (usually the plant or a specific valuation area) to correctly update the inventory valuation.
  This usually happens if:
  
  The material master is missing the plant or valuation area assignment.
  The retail pricing condition records are incomplete or missing the valuation area.
  The configuration for valuation area determination in retail pricing is incomplete or incorrect.
  The revaluation process is triggered for a material that is not assigned to any plant or valuation area.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 and verify that the material has a plant assigned.
  Check the Accounting 1 and Costing 1 views to ensure valuation area is maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Valuation Area Configuration:
  
  Verify that the valuation area (usually the plant) is correctly maintained in the system.
  Use transaction OMWB or OX09 to check valuation area settings.
  
  
  
  Check Retail Pricing Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK13 to check the retail price condition records.
  Ensure that the condition records include the valuation area or plant as required.
  
  
  
  Check Retail Revaluation Configuration:
  
  In customizing (SPRO), check the settings under:
  
  Retail ? Pricing ? Revaluation at Retail ? Define Valuation Areas for Revaluation
  
  
  Make sure the valuation area is correctly assigned to the retail pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Run Revaluation with Correct Parameters:
  
  When running the revaluation program (e.g., RWRVPRIC or similar), ensure that the plant or valuation area is specified or that the system can determine it from the material master.
  
  
  
  If Missing, Assign Plant/Valuation Area:
  
  If the material is not assigned to any plant, assign it to the appropriate plant.
  If the valuation area is missing, maintain it accordingly.
