• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR083 - Revaluation will lead to negative stock value at retail ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message WR083: "Revaluation will lead to negative stock value at retail":
  
  Error Message: WR083 - Revaluation will lead to negative stock value at retail
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the revaluation of retail articles in SAP Retail (IS-Retail) when the system detects that the revaluation process would result in a negative stock value at retail price.
  
  In SAP Retail, stock value at retail is calculated based on stock quantity multiplied by the retail price.
  If the revaluation (price change) causes the retail price to drop below zero or the resulting stock value to become negative, the system blocks the posting.
  This situation can arise due to:
  
  Incorrect or zero retail price maintained for the article.
  Incorrect revaluation price entered (e.g., negative or too low).
  Stock quantity inconsistencies.
  Incorrect configuration or master data issues in the retail pricing or valuation.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WR083 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Retail Price:
  
  Verify the retail price of the article in the material master or retail pricing conditions.
  Ensure the retail price is not zero or negative.
  Adjust the retail price if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Stock Quantity:
  
  Verify the stock quantity for the article in the relevant storage location or retail store.
  Ensure stock quantities are correct and consistent.
  
  
  
  Review Revaluation Price:
  
  Check the revaluation price entered during the revaluation process.
  Make sure the price is realistic and does not cause the stock value to become negative.
  
  
  
  Adjust Revaluation Parameters:
  
  If the revaluation price is too low, increase it to a value that will not cause negative stock value.
  Alternatively, adjust the revaluation method or parameters to avoid negative valuation.
  
  
  
  Master Data and Configuration:
  
  Check the article master data for any inconsistencies in valuation or pricing.
  Review the valuation class and account determination settings.
  Ensure that the retail price control and valuation settings are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Run Stock Consistency Checks:
  
  Use SAP standard reports or transactions (e.g., MMBE, MB52) to check stock balances.
  Run retail-specific consistency checks if available.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:

  Typical Scenario:
  
  Retail companies performing periodic price revaluations to reflect market changes.
  When prices are adjusted downward, the system ensures that stock value does not become negative, which would be illogical and cause accounting inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Always back up master data before mass revaluation.
  Test revaluation in a test environment before applying in production.
  Coordinate with finance and controlling teams to ensure valuation methods comply with accounting standards.
