• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_PP_MD069 - Fixed batch assignment not possible; comp. is subjected to subcontracting ?

  The SAP error message FSH_PP_MD069, which states "Fixed batch assignment not possible; comp. is subjected to subcontracting," typically occurs in the context of production planning and batch management. This error indicates that the system is unable to assign a fixed batch to a component because that component is subject to subcontracting.
  Cause:
  
  Subcontracting Configuration: The component in question is set up for subcontracting in the material master. This means that the material is not produced in-house but rather procured from a vendor.
  Batch Management: The system is trying to assign a fixed batch to a component that is not allowed due to its subcontracting status. Fixed batch assignment is generally used for materials that are produced internally and can be tracked through batches.
  Material Type: The material type of the component may not support fixed batch assignment when it is configured for subcontracting.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Material Master: Check the material master record for the component. Ensure that the settings for the material are appropriate for your production process. If the material is meant to be produced in-house, consider changing its procurement type from subcontracting to in-house production.
  Batch Management Settings: If the component is indeed meant to be subcontracted, you may need to adjust your batch management settings. You might need to remove the fixed batch assignment requirement for this component.
  Production Order Settings: Review the production order settings to ensure that they align with the intended use of the component. If the component is being used in a production order, ensure that the order is set up correctly for subcontracting.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to batch management and subcontracting.
  Alternative Procurement: If fixed batch assignment is necessary for your process, consider using an alternative material that is not subject to subcontracting.
