SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MH - Maintain Material Master Data (Retail)

• Message number: 307

• Message text: Diff. maint. validity areas of material displayable only for ref. store

What causes this issue?

On the <LS>Logistics: Store</> screen, you can display differently
maintained areas of validity only for a reference store (general or
distribution-chain-specific) in the case of single materials or
variants.

System Response

If you are maintaining data for the general reference store, the system
considers only stores maintained via this store, and not stores
maintained via a distribution-chain-specific reference store. Of the
stores considered, it displays those maintained differently from the
general reference store.
<ZH>Note</>
If distribution-chain-specific reference stores exist, they are also
displayed since stores of this kind are by nature maintained
differently.
If you are maintaining data for a distribution-chain-specific reference
store, the system considers only stores maintained via this store. Of
the stores considered, it displays those maintained differently from
the distribution-chain-specific reference store.

How to fix this error?

Reset the value of the store chosen to the initial value, and then
choose <LS>Differently maintained areas of validity</> again.
