• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IWO_BAPI620 - Material &1 is not subject to batch requirement ?

  The SAP error message IWO_BAPI620, which states "Material &1 is not subject to batch requirement," typically occurs in the context of materials management and production planning within SAP. This error indicates that the material you are trying to process does not have batch management enabled, but the operation you are attempting requires it.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Not Activated: The material in question is not set up for batch management in the material master. This means that the system does not track inventory in batches for this material.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the material master or the related production order may not align with the requirements for batch management.
  Transaction Context: The transaction or process you are trying to execute may inherently require batch management, such as certain production orders, goods movements, or inventory management processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) for the material in question.
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Plant Data / Storage" views to see if batch management is activated. The "Batch Management" field should be set to "1" (active) if you want to manage this material in batches.
  
  
  
  Activate Batch Management:
  
  If batch management is not activated and you need it, you can activate it by changing the material master record (transaction code MM02). Make sure to do this in the appropriate views (e.g., "Plant Data / Storage").
  Note that activating batch management for an existing material may require additional steps, such as ensuring that there are no existing stock or transactions that would conflict with this change.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Requirements:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the material. If the transaction requires batch management, you may need to either enable batch management for the material or choose a different transaction that does not require it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on batch management and the implications of enabling it for your materials.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
