• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR080 - Plant &, material group &: only revaluation not affecting margins allowed ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WR080 Plant &, material group &: only revaluation not affecting margins allowed
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the revaluation of inventory in SAP, specifically when you try to perform a revaluation that affects the margin (profit or loss) for a particular plant and material group, but the system settings or configuration only allow revaluations that do not affect margins.
  In other words, the system is configured to allow only non-margin affecting revaluations for the specified plant and material group. If you attempt a revaluation that would impact the margin (e.g., changing the standard price or moving average price in a way that affects profit), the system blocks the transaction and throws this error.
  
  When does this happen?
  
  During inventory revaluation (transaction MR21 or during period-end closing activities).
  When the valuation variant or account determination settings restrict margin-affecting revaluations.
  When the material ledger or price control settings are configured to disallow margin-affecting revaluations for certain plants/material groups.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the valuation settings:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Valuation and Account Determination ? Account Determination ? Account Determination Without Wizard ? Define Valuation Classes.
  Verify the settings for the plant and material group in question.
  Check if the valuation variant or price control settings restrict margin-affecting revaluations.
  
  
  
  Review the price control indicator:
  
  For the material master (MM03), check the Price Control field in the accounting view.
  If the price control is set to S (Standard Price), revaluations typically affect margins.
  If set to V (Moving Average Price), revaluations may be restricted or handled differently.
  
  
  
  Adjust revaluation method or settings:
  
  If the business process requires margin-affecting revaluations, adjust the configuration to allow it.
  Alternatively, perform a non-margin affecting revaluation if that is the business requirement.
  
  
  
  Check material ledger settings:
  
  If material ledger is active, check the revaluation settings for the plant/material group.
  Material ledger may have specific controls on how revaluations affect margins.
  
  
  
  Consult with controlling/accounting team:
  
  Since margin-affecting revaluations impact financial statements, ensure that any changes comply with accounting policies.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is related to inventory valuation and price control in SAP MM and FI-CO integration.
  It ensures that revaluations do not unintentionally affect profit and loss accounts unless explicitly allowed.
  The error message helps maintain consistency and control over inventory valuation and financial reporting.
