• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/MD031 - Material & is not batch-managed. Valuation level reset ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/MD031 Material & is not batch-managed. Valuation level reset typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory management within SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to perform an operation on a material that is expected to be batch-managed, but the material in question is not set up as such.
  Cause:
  
  Material Configuration: The material in question is not configured to be batch-managed in the material master. This means that the system does not recognize it as a material that requires batch tracking.
  Valuation Level: The valuation level for the material may have been set incorrectly, or there may be inconsistencies in the configuration that lead to this error.
  Transaction Context: The error may arise during specific transactions that require batch management, such as goods movements, stock transfers, or inventory adjustments.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Plant Data/Storage" views to see if the material is set as batch-managed. If it is not, you may need to change the configuration.
  If the material should be batch-managed, you can change the settings in the material master (transaction code MM02).
  
  
  
  Adjust Valuation Level:
  
  Ensure that the valuation level is set correctly in the configuration. The valuation level can be set at either the company code level or the plant level.
  You can check the valuation level in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO -> "Logistics - General" -> "Material Master" -> "Basic Settings" -> "Define Valuation Level").
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to perform is appropriate for the material type. If the material is not batch-managed, you should not be performing batch-related transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on batch management and valuation levels.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
