  SAP Error Message WR125
  Message Text:
  
  Revaluation at retail not possible due to subsequent value postings
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to perform a revaluation at retail (usually in Retail or Inventory Management scenarios) but the system detects that there have been subsequent value postings (e.g., goods movements, invoice postings, or other accounting documents) after the original valuation date or period.
  In other words, the system prevents revaluation because the inventory value has already been updated or changed by later postings, which would cause inconsistencies or incorrect valuation if revaluation were allowed.
  
  Explanation
  
  Revaluation at retail is typically used to adjust inventory values based on retail price changes or other valuation methods.
  If there are subsequent postings (like goods receipts, invoice receipts, or other accounting documents) after the date or period you want to revalue, the system blocks the revaluation to maintain data integrity.
  This ensures that inventory valuation remains consistent and prevents retroactive changes that could distort financial reporting.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Check Subsequent Postings:
  
  Identify the postings that have been made after the valuation date/period.
  Use transaction codes like MB51 (Material Document List) or MB5B (Stocks for Posting Date) to find subsequent postings.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Revaluation Period:
  
  Perform the revaluation for a period after the last subsequent posting.
  Ensure that the revaluation period does not overlap with periods where value postings have already occurred.
  
  
  
  Reverse Subsequent Postings (if feasible):
  
  If business processes allow, reverse or cancel the subsequent postings that block the revaluation.
  After reversal, perform the revaluation, then repost the subsequent postings.
  Note: This can be complex and risky; only do this if you fully understand the impact and have proper authorization.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance/Controlling:
  
  Coordinate with the finance or controlling department to determine the correct approach for valuation adjustments.
  Sometimes, alternative valuation methods or manual adjustments may be necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the valuation and revaluation settings in the system.
  Ensure that the valuation areas, periods, and posting rules are correctly maintained.
