  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_FOLUPART024
  
  Text: Follow-up/replacement material & is a value-only material
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a follow-up or replacement material that is classified as a value-only material in SAP. A value-only material is a material master record that does not have a physical stock or inventory but is used for valuation or accounting purposes only.
  In SAP, follow-up or replacement materials are expected to be physical materials that can be managed in inventory and used in procurement or production processes. Assigning a value-only material as a follow-up or replacement material is not allowed because such materials do not represent actual stock items.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Value-only materials are typically used for accounting or valuation purposes without physical stock.
  Follow-up/replacement materials are intended to replace or follow up on physical materials in procurement or production.
  Assigning a value-only material as a follow-up/replacement material conflicts with the system logic, hence the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the material master data of the follow-up/replacement material:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Verify if the material is flagged as a value-only material (check the material type or valuation settings).
  
  
  
  Use a physical material as the follow-up/replacement material:
  
  Replace the value-only material with a material that has physical stock management enabled.
  If the follow-up/replacement material must be a value-only material, reconsider the business process or material master setup.
  
  
  
  Adjust material master settings (if appropriate):
  
  If the material should not be value-only, update the material master to enable stock management.
  This might involve changing the material type or valuation class, but be cautious as this impacts inventory and accounting.
  
  
  
  Consult business process owners:
  
  Confirm whether the follow-up/replacement material assignment is correct.
  Sometimes, the error indicates a process or master data inconsistency that needs correction.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Types: Value-only materials often have specific material types like DIEN (services) or custom types configured for valuation only.
  Material Master Views: Check the Accounting 1 and MRP 1 views for valuation and procurement settings.
