• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO698 - Batch is determined by warehouse management ?

  The SAP error message CO698, which states "Batch is determined by warehouse management," typically occurs in the context of production orders or inventory management when the system is trying to determine a batch for a material that is managed in a warehouse using Warehouse Management (WM) functionality.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The material in question is set up for batch management, and the system is configured to determine batches based on warehouse management rules.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The warehouse management settings may dictate that batches are to be determined automatically based on specific criteria, and the system is unable to find a suitable batch.
  Batch Determination Procedure: The batch determination procedure may not be correctly configured or may not have the necessary criteria to select a batch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Batch Management Settings: Ensure that the material is correctly set up for batch management in the material master (MM01/MM02) and that the relevant batch management views are maintained.
  Review Warehouse Management Configuration: Check the warehouse management settings to ensure that they are correctly configured to allow for batch determination. This includes reviewing the warehouse number and storage type settings.

  Check Stock Availability: Ensure that there are available batches in stock that meet the criteria for the production order or movement. You can check this using transaction code MMBE or similar.
