• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COOS080 - Material uses internal batch number assignment (Entry will be deleted) ?

  The SAP error message COOS080 indicates that there is an issue with the internal batch number assignment for a material. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves batch management, but the system has determined that the material in question is set up to use internal batch number assignment, and the entry you are trying to make is not valid under these conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Internal Batch Number Assignment: The material is configured to use internal batch number assignment, meaning that the system automatically generates batch numbers for this material.
  Manual Entry Attempt: You may be trying to manually enter a batch number or perform an operation that requires a specific batch number, which is not allowed for materials with internal batch number assignment.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or batch management settings that are causing this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the batch management settings for the material. Ensure that it is set up correctly for internal batch number assignment.
  
  
  
  Avoid Manual Batch Entry:
  
  If the material is set to use internal batch number assignment, do not attempt to manually enter a batch number. Instead, allow the system to generate the batch number automatically.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are performing is appropriate for materials with internal batch number assignment. If you need to use a specific batch number, consider changing the material's batch management settings to allow for external batch number assignment.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, review the batch management configuration in the SAP system (transaction code SPRO) to ensure that it aligns with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or BAdIs:
  
  If there are any user exits or BAdIs (Business Add-Ins) implemented that might affect batch number assignment, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Batch Management: Understand the difference between internal and external batch number assignment. Internal means the system generates the batch number, while external allows users to specify batch numbers.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on batch management and error messages related to it.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or bugs related to this error message.
