Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/MSG_GAF_PE049 - Item &1: Enter the quantity 1 for serialized material &2 ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MSG_GAF_PE049 indicates that there is an issue with the quantity entered for a serialized material during a transaction. Specifically, the message states that for the serialized material identified by &2, you must enter a quantity of 1. This is because serialized materials are tracked individually, and each item must be accounted for separately.
  Cause:
  
  Serialized Material Requirement: The system requires that when dealing with serialized materials, the quantity must be exactly 1. This is because each serialized item has a unique identifier (serial number) and cannot be processed in bulk.
  Incorrect Quantity Entry: The user may have entered a quantity greater than 1 or less than 1 for a serialized item, which is not allowed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust Quantity: When prompted with this error, you should change the quantity for the serialized material to 1. This can typically be done in the transaction screen where you are entering the material details.
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material in question is indeed set up as a serialized material in the material master data. This can be verified in the material master record under the relevant views.
  Review Transaction Type: Make sure that the transaction you are performing is appropriate for serialized materials. Some transactions may not support serialized items if they are not configured correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Serialized Materials: These are materials that are tracked individually, often used for high-value items or items that require specific tracking (e.g., electronics, machinery).
  Material Master Data: This is where the configuration for materials is stored in SAP, including whether a material is serialized or not.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that deal with serialized materials, such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MB1A (Goods Withdrawal).
  
  If you continue to experience issues after making the necessary adjustments, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
