System throws an exception when trying to Apply Mass Change for Material Valuation Data.
Environment

Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Product Data work center.

- Select 800 records or above.
- Click Mass Change.
- Select Valuation in Show.
- Enter the values you want to change for the rows.

The exception saying Unexpected Error During backend processing occurs.
Cause
According to the SAP Business ByDesign system behavior, mass updates are possible only to a limited number of materials at a time.
When many materials are selected for Mass Change, the system takes a few seconds to load.
The crash could be caused because of some activity while loading.
Resolution
The success of the mass change again would also depend on the volume of planning data within each material.
As observed, the error doesn’t occur when mass changing relatively lower number materials, therefore the update should be done in parts, with a few hundred materials chosen at a time.
