• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_PP_MD083 - Fixed batch assignment not possible; component is a co-product ?

  The SAP error message FSH_PP_MD083 indicates that a fixed batch assignment is not possible because the component in question is classified as a co-product. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and batch management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with co-products in a production order.
  Cause:
  
  Co-Product Definition: In SAP, co-products are products that are produced simultaneously in a process and have significant economic value. When a component is defined as a co-product, it cannot be assigned to a fixed batch in the same way as regular components.
  Batch Management Settings: The system may be configured to prevent fixed batch assignments for co-products due to the nature of their production and inventory management.
  Production Order Settings: The production order may have settings that do not allow for fixed batch assignments for co-products.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Co-Product Configuration: Check the configuration of the co-product in the material master. Ensure that the settings align with your production and batch management requirements.
  Adjust Batch Assignment: Instead of trying to assign a fixed batch, consider using a different method of batch assignment that is compatible with co-products. This may involve using dynamic batch assignment or allowing the system to select batches automatically.
  Modify Production Order: If applicable, modify the production order settings to allow for the handling of co-products in a way that does not require fixed batch assignments.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling co-products and batch management in your version of SAP.
  Custom Development: If the standard functionality does not meet your needs, consider discussing with your SAP development team about potential custom solutions or enhancements.
