WRF_FOLUPART023 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WRF_FOLUPART023 – Original material & is a value-only material
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a material that is defined as a value-only material (i.e., a material that does not have stock managed in quantity but only in value) is being used in a process or transaction that expects a regular material with quantity management.
  In SAP, value-only materials are typically used for materials that are not physically stocked or managed in inventory quantities but are tracked only for valuation purposes. For example, services, consumables, or materials managed purely for accounting reasons.
  When the system encounters a value-only material in a context where quantity-based processing is required (e.g., goods movement, inventory management, production order components), it raises this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Check the material type and valuation settings.
  Verify if the material is flagged as value-only in the accounting or inventory management views.
  
  
  
  Review the Process/Transaction:
  
  Identify where the material is
