• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06333 - Fixed indicator incompatible w. existing source list record & ?

  The SAP error message "06333 Fixed indicator incompatible with existing source list record" typically occurs when there is a conflict between the fixed indicator settings in the source list and the procurement type or settings in the material master record. This error is often encountered during the procurement process, particularly when trying to create or modify source list entries.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Indicator Conflict: The fixed indicator in the source list is set to "fixed" for a vendor, but the material master or the source list settings do not allow for a fixed source.
