SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IST0 - General Messages IS Telecommunications

• Message number: 003

• Message text: Material selection: No further batch selection is assumed.

&ABAP_HINT&
After materials and subsequently an equipment master have been
selected, the quantity of equipment will only be reduced. This means
that subsequent batch selections cannot determine additional equipment.
This also applies when restrictions made using batches are followed by
equipment selection.
For this reason a pop-up with a corresponding note is displayed before
material or batch restriction is made for the first time.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IST0003 - Material selection: No further batch selection is assumed. ?

  The SAP error message IST0003, which states "Material selection: No further batch selection is assumed," typically occurs in the context of batch management in SAP. This message indicates that the system has not found any suitable batches for the material you are trying to process, and therefore, it cannot proceed with the operation that requires batch selection.
  Causes:
  
  No Available Batches: There may be no batches available for the material in the specified storage location or plant.
  Batch Status: The batches that exist may be blocked or have a status that prevents them from being selected (e.g., expired, blocked for quality inspection).
