• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C2402 - Orders without finished material are not supported by Event-Based Posting ?

  The SAP error message C2402, which states "Orders without finished material are not supported by Event-Based Posting," typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when using Event-Based Posting (EBP) in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to process the order because it lacks a finished material (i.e., a material that is defined as the end product of the production process).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Finished Material: The production order or process order does not have a finished material assigned to it. This is a requirement for Event-Based Posting, as the system needs to know what the end product is to properly manage inventory and postings.
  Incorrect Order Type: The order type being used may not be compatible with Event-Based Posting, especially if it is not set up to handle finished goods.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the requirements for Event-Based Posting.

  Navigate to the order in transaction code CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order).
  Ensure that the "Material" field is populated with a valid finished material.
  
  
  
  Review Order Type: Ensure that the order type being used is compatible with Event-Based Posting. You can check this in the configuration settings.

  Configuration Settings: If the finished material is correctly assigned and the order type is appropriate, check the configuration for Event-Based Posting.
