  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to assign a component in a production order or a bill of materials (BOM) that is not defined as a batch-managed material.
  The system is configured to require batch management for certain components, but the material in question does not have batch management enabled.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record of the component in question.

  Review BOM and Routing:
  
  If the component is part of a BOM, ensure that the BOM is correctly configured and that all components are appropriately defined.
  Check if the routing associated with the production order also requires batch-managed components.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings or if batch management is required for your business process, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant to understand the implications of enabling batch management.
  
  
  
  Testing:
