• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_PP_MD071 - Fixed batch assignment not possible; Mat. Prov. Ind. is set ?

  The SAP error message FSH_PP_MD071 indicates that a fixed batch assignment is not possible because the "Material Provision Indicator" (Mat. Prov. Ind.) is set for the material in question. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning and batch management within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The material is configured with a Material Provision Indicator that restricts the assignment of fixed batches.
  The system is trying to assign a specific batch to a production order or a process order, but the settings for the material do not allow for this due to the provision indicator being active.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the Material Master (transaction code MM03).
  Check the relevant views (especially the "Basic Data" and "Batch Management" views) for the material in question.
  Look for the "Material Provision Indicator" and understand its implications. If it is set, it may need to be changed based on your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Batch Management Settings:
  
  If the material is intended to have fixed batch assignments, you may need to adjust the batch management settings.
  You can do this in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO) under:
  
  Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Batch Management.
  
  
  Review the settings related to batch management and the material provision indicator.
  
  
  
  Review Production Order Settings:
  
  Check the production order or process order that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the order is set up correctly and that it aligns with the batch management settings of the material.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the settings, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  They can provide insights based on your specific configuration and business processes.
