  SAP Error Message: WR082
  Text:
  
  Material & managed on basis of value-only material in plant &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform an operation on a material that is managed as a value-only material in a specific plant. In SAP, a value-only material is a material that is not physically managed in inventory (no stock quantities are maintained), but its value is tracked for accounting purposes.
  Typical scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Attempting to post goods movements (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue) for a material that is set up as value-only in the plant.
  Trying to change stock or perform inventory transactions for a material that is configured to be managed only by value (no quantity management).
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP, materials can be managed in inventory either:
  
  Quantity and value managed: Stock quantities and values are tracked.
  Value-only managed: Only the value is tracked, no physical stock quantities are maintained.
  
  If a material is set as value-only in a plant, you cannot perform stock-related transactions that require quantity management.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number and plant.
  Navigate to the Accounting 1 view.
  Check the indicator Value-only material (field: Value-only material).
  
  
  
  If you need quantity management:
  
  If the material should be managed with quantities, uncheck the "Value-only material" indicator in the material master.
  Save the changes.
  Note: Changing this setting may require coordination with controlling and inventory management teams, as it affects stock valuation and inventory processes.
  
  
  
  If the material is correctly set as value-only:
  
  Avoid posting goods movements or inventory transactions that require quantity management.
  Use appropriate accounting or consumption postings that are allowed for value-only materials.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process:
  
  Confirm with business users whether the material should be value-only or quantity managed.
  Adjust processes accordingly.

  This setting controls whether inventory quantities are managed or only values are tracked.
