• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL_DFPS_COMP_EWM013 - Compatibility group code must be maintained for material &1 ?

  The SAP error message CL_DFPS_COMP_EWM013 indicates that a compatibility group code must be maintained for a specific material. This error typically arises in the context of Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when dealing with materials that require specific compatibility settings for handling, storage, or transportation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the material in question does not have a compatibility group code assigned. Compatibility groups are used in EWM to define how materials can be stored or handled together. If a material is missing this code, the system cannot determine how to process it in relation to other materials, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the compatibility group code for the affected material. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM01 (Create Material) in SAP.
  
  
  
  Select the Appropriate Views:
  
  Choose the relevant views that include compatibility group settings. This is typically found under the Basic Data or Warehouse Management views.
  
  
  
  Maintain Compatibility Group:
  
  Locate the field for the compatibility group code and enter the appropriate code. If you do not have a code, you may need to create one in the compatibility group configuration.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the compatibility group code, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you do not have a compatibility group code available, you may need to check the configuration settings in the EWM module to ensure that compatibility groups are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Compatibility Groups: These are defined in the EWM settings and can be configured to group materials based on specific criteria (e.g., hazardous materials, temperature-sensitive items).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MM02: Change Material Master
  MM01: Create Material Master
  SPRO: Access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide to configure compatibility groups.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on compatibility groups and their configuration in EWM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the material can be processed correctly within the EWM system.
