• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA012 - Article &1 is not a value-only article ?

  The SAP error message WRMA012 indicates that the article (or material) you are trying to process is not classified as a "value-only" article in the system. This typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management or Inventory Management when dealing with articles that have both quantity and value components.
  Cause:
  
  Article Classification: The article in question is classified as a "quantity and value" article rather than a "value-only" article. This means that the system expects the article to have both a quantity and a value associated with it.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the material master or the configuration of the Warehouse Management system may not be set up to allow for value-only articles.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error in data entry or in the configuration of the article that led to it being classified incorrectly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Article Classification:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the classification of the article. Ensure that it is set up as a value-only article if that is the intended classification.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Master Data:
  
  If the article should be a value-only article, you may need to change its classification in the material master. This can typically be done in the Basic Data or Accounting views.
  Ensure that the relevant fields are correctly filled out to reflect the article's intended use.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Warehouse Management module to ensure that it allows for value-only articles. This may involve consulting with your SAP configuration team or reviewing the relevant customizing settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on how to manage article classifications and the implications of different types of articles in the system.
  
  
  
  Seek Support:
