SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COWIPB - Messages for WIP Batch

• Message number: 524

• Message text: Component/item &1 &2 &3: batch &4 has original batch for same OB material

What causes this issue?

You have changed the indicator for batch determination with
original-batch purity. This is not allowed in this case, because there
is already another component/ sales order/delivery item (item &V1&,
plant &V2&, material &V3&, batch &V4&) that is assigned to the same
original-batch material but to a different original batch.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

You can specify in Customizing whether a warning or error message is to
be issued (<DS:TRAN.OMILL_T160M>Message Control</>).
If a warning message is entered here, the system cannot guarantee batch
determination with original-batch purity in the case of indicator '2'.
