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, ensuring that incompatible materials are not mixed, which could lead to safety hazards or regulatory issues.

  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) in SAP.
  
  
  
  Enter Material Number:
  
  Input the material number that is causing the error and select the appropriate views (usually the Basic Data or Warehouse Management views).
  
  
  
  Maintain Compatibility Group:

  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the compatibility group code, save your changes.
