  Plant &1: Procurement in consignment stock not possible for value-only material &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the system is trying to process procurement (e.g., create a purchase order or goods receipt) for a material that is classified as a value-only material in a consignment stock scenario.  
  
  Value-only materials are materials that do not have stock quantity management in SAP; only their value is managed in the system.  
  Consignment stock requires quantity management because the stock physically resides at the customer’s premises but is owned by the vendor until consumed.  
  Since value-only materials do not have quantity management, procurement in consignment stock is not allowed for such materials.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Value-only materials are typically used for services, non-stock items, or materials where only the value is tracked, not the physical quantity.  
  Consignment stock requires tracking of physical quantities because the stock is held at the customer site but owned by the vendor until used.  
  SAP does not allow consignment procurement for value-only materials because it contradicts the fundamental principle of consignment stock management.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 and check the material type and valuation settings.
  Verify if the material is set as a value-only material (usually indicated by the valuation category or material type).
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Settings:
  
  If the material should be managed in consignment stock, it must be quantity-managed, not value-only.
  Change the material master to a material type that supports quantity management (e.g., standard material type like ROH, FERT, or HALB).
  Remove the value-only indicator if set.
  
  
  
  Procurement Strategy:
  
  If the material is truly value-only and should not be quantity managed, then consignment procurement is not possible.
  Use a different procurement process suitable for value-only materials, such as direct consumption or service procurement.
  
  
  
  Consult Business Process:
  
  Confirm with the business whether the material should be procured as consignment stock or handled differently.
  Align material master data and procurement process accordingly.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Views:  
  
  Check Accounting 1 and MRP 1 views for valuation and procurement type.  
  
  
  Material Types:  
  
  Value-only materials often have material types like NLAG (non-stock material) or special valuation categories.  
  
  
  Consignment Stock:  
  
  Requires quantity management and special stock indicator in the material master.  
  
  
  SAP Notes:  
  
  Check SAP Notes related to consignment stock and value-only materials for any updates or patches.
