  Error Message
  WRF_CONS050: Procurement in consignment stock not possible for value-only material
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the material you are trying to procure or manage in consignment stock is set up as a value-only material in SAP. 
  
  Value-only materials are materials that are not physically managed in inventory but are only tracked for value (accounting) purposes.
  Consignment stock, on the other hand, involves physical stock held at your premises but owned by the vendor until consumption.
  Since value-only materials do not have physical stock management, it is not possible to procure or manage them in consignment stock.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Consignment stock requires physical stock management because the stock is physically present but legally owned by the vendor.
  Value-only materials are typically used for materials that are not physically stored or managed in inventory but are accounted for financially.
  SAP does not allow consignment stock procurement for value-only materials because it contradicts the concept of value-only materials (no physical stock).
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you have the following options:
  
  
  Change the material type or material master settings:
  
  If you need to manage the material in consignment stock, the material must not be set as value-only.
  Go to the material master (transaction MM02) and check the Accounting 1 view.
  Look for the indicator Value-Only Material (field: Value-Only Material).
  If this indicator is set, deselect it to allow physical stock management.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Use a different material for consignment stock:
  
  If the material must remain value-only, you cannot use consignment stock procurement.
  Consider using a different material that is physically managed for consignment stock processes.
  
  
  
  Review business process:
  
  Confirm whether consignment stock procurement is the correct process for this material.
  If the material is only for value tracking, consider alternative procurement or inventory management processes.
