  SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_FI155
  
  Text: Value-based inventory management possible for RMA site: Customer &1
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs in the context of Return Material Authorization (RMA) processing when the system detects that value-based inventory management is active for the RMA site (which is a customer location in this case).
  
  Value-based inventory management means that inventory is managed and valued based on the value of the stock rather than just quantity.
  The RMA site is set up as a customer location (not a plant or warehouse).
  The system is informing you that value-based inventory management is possible (or active) for this RMA site, which may affect how returns and inventory postings are handled.
  
  This message is informational or a warning that the system recognizes the RMA site as a customer location with value-based inventory management enabled.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During RMA processing (e.g., creating or processing return deliveries).
  When the system checks the inventory management settings for the RMA site.
  When the RMA site is configured as a customer location with value-based inventory management.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  
  Check RMA Site Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the RMA site in transaction OVZ9 (Define RMA sites).
  Confirm whether the RMA site is set as a customer or a plant.
  If the RMA site is a customer location, value-based inventory management can be active.
  
  
  
  Check Inventory Management Settings:
  
  Review the settings for value-based inventory management in the system.
  This is usually controlled via the valuation area and plant settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Process if Needed:
  
  If value-based inventory management is not desired for the RMA site, consider changing the site type or inventory management settings.
  If it is desired, ensure that your RMA processing and FI postings are aligned with value-based inventory management.
  
  
  
  Ignore if Informational:
  
  If the message is informational and does not block processing, you may proceed.
  If it is a warning, ensure users are aware of the implications on inventory valuation.
