• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8305 - Material ledger valuation is active for material & & & ?

  The SAP error message M8305, which states "Material ledger valuation is active for material & & &," typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation on a material that is subject to Material Ledger (ML) valuation. This means that the material is set up to use the Material Ledger for inventory valuation, which can affect how transactions are processed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Material Ledger Activation: The material in question has the Material Ledger activated, which means that it is subject to specific valuation methods and processes.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions (like goods movements, inventory adjustments, etc.) may be restricted or require specific handling when the Material Ledger is active.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Material Ledger or the material master that are not aligned with the transaction you are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
