identified as a <DS:GLOS.co-product>co-product</> in its master record.
For orders with co-products, separate order items are generated for
each co-product. To avoid inconsistencies, the assignment of
co-products to a cost object hierarchy is not allowed.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

KZ150 - Details

• The SAP error message KZ150 indicates that you are trying to assign a material that is classified as a co-product in a production process, but the system does not allow this assignment due to the nature of co-products in SAP.
  
  Cause:
  
  Co-Product Definition: In SAP, co-products are materials that are produced simultaneously in a production process and have significant economic value. They are typically defined in the material master and production process.
  Assignment Restrictions: The error occurs when you attempt to assign a co-product to a production order, bill of materials (BOM), or routing where such an assignment is not permitted. This could happen if the system expects a different type of material (like a by-product or a main product) or if the configuration does not allow for co-products in that context.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master: Verify the material master data for the material in question. Ensure that it is correctly defined as a co-product
