Environment

Reproducing the Issue

Open the tile 'Create Single PI Document'.

Open the tile 'Post Physical Inventory Document'.
Set a posting date in the previous period. 
Enter a difference reason and press POST. 
Error 'Back-posting only poss. w. same val. class' is raised.

Cause

Changes have been made to the valuation class of the material. The system checks the valuation class of the current and previous periods, MBEW-BKLAS and MBEW-VMBKL. 
If a difference is found the posting is stopped with this hard coded error M7115, to avoid database inconsistencies.

Resolution

This is not a customisable message, it cannot be avoided you have to post the difference into the current period.
