• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C2027 - No availability check if requirements quantity is zero (item &1, mat. &2) ?

  The SAP error message C2027 indicates that there is no availability check being performed for a specific item in a sales order or other document when the required quantity is zero. This message is typically encountered in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) modules.
  Cause:
  The error message C2027 is triggered when:
  
  The system detects that the requirement quantity for a specific item is zero.
  Availability checks are not applicable when there are no requirements to fulfill (i.e., when the quantity is zero).
  This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a user tries to create or process a sales order, delivery, or production order with an item that has a zero quantity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Item Quantity:
  
  Verify if the item in question should indeed have a quantity greater than zero. If the quantity is mistakenly set to zero, update it to the correct value.
  
  
  
  Review Document Configuration:
  
  If the zero quantity is intentional (for example, if you are creating a document for informational purposes), you may need to adjust the configuration settings for the document type or item category to allow for such cases.
  
  
  
  Adjust Availability Check Settings:
  
  If you need to perform an availability check even when the quantity is zero, you may need to review the configuration settings in the material master or sales document type. This may involve:
  
  Checking the availability check indicator in the material master (under MRP 2 view).
  Reviewing the item category settings in the sales document configuration.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
