• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART068 - &: Original material & in import file is a value-only material ?

  The SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART068 indicates that the original material specified in the import file is a "value-only material." This means that the material in question is not set up to have stock or inventory associated with it, and therefore cannot be processed in the same way as a standard material.
  Cause:
  
  Value-Only Material: The material is defined in SAP as a value-only material, which means it is used for financial purposes but does not have physical stock.
  Incorrect Data in Import File: The import file may contain incorrect or incomplete data regarding the material type or its attributes.
  Material Type Configuration: The material type configuration in SAP may not allow for certain operations that are being attempted in the import process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Type: Verify the material type of the original material in SAP. If it is indeed a value-only material and you need it to have stock, you may need to change its material type to a standard material type that allows for stock management.
  Update Import File: Ensure that the import file is correctly formatted and that it contains the appropriate material types. If the material should not be a value-only material, correct the data in the import file.
  Consult with SAP Configuration: If you are unsure about the material type or how to change it, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who can provide guidance on material management settings.
  Create a New Material: If the original material is not intended to have stock, consider creating a new material that is set up correctly for your needs.
