  Error Message
  WR062: Valuation type missing for valuation category &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during inventory or material valuation processes when the system tries to determine the valuation type for a given valuation category but cannot find a corresponding entry in the configuration.
  
  Valuation category is a classification used in SAP to differentiate stock types or stock statuses (e.g., unrestricted use, blocked stock, quality inspection).
  Valuation type is used in special stock or split valuation scenarios to further specify the valuation of stock.
  
  The system expects a mapping between valuation category and valuation type in the configuration. If this mapping is missing, the system cannot assign a valuation type, leading to this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During goods movements involving special stock or split valuation.
  When posting inventory transactions that require valuation type determination.
  When the system tries to update accounting or material ledger data but cannot find the valuation type for the valuation category.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Valuation and Account Determination ? Split Valuation ? Define Valuation Types for Valuation Categories.
  Ensure that for the valuation category in question, a valuation type is assigned.
  
  
  
  Maintain Valuation Types:
  
  If the valuation type is missing, create and assign the appropriate valuation type(s) for the valuation category.
  This is especially important if you are using split valuation or special stock scenarios.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Verify if the material is set up for split valuation or special stock.
  Check if the valuation category is correctly assigned in the material master or during the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  Check the transaction or movement type to ensure it is consistent with the valuation category and valuation type setup.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance/Controlling:
  
  Since valuation types affect accounting, coordinate with FI/CO teams to ensure the valuation types align with financial requirements.
