• Message number: 152

• Message text: Material is a raw material - it cannot be assigned

What causes this issue?

You are attempting to assign a material to a cost object hierarchy.
However, the <DS:GLOS.material_type>material type</> of this material
indicates that it is a raw material.
The purpose of cost object hierarchies is to collect the
<DS:GLOS.cost_of_goods_manufactured>cost of goods manufactured</> that
cannot be attributed to any particular production order or run schedule
header. The link to the cost object hierarchy is made through the
finished product or semifinished product, the production of which is
controlled through the order type. The <DS:GLOS.target_costs>target
costs</> for the hierarchy are calculated in the
<DS:GLOS.standard_cost_estimate>standard cost estimates</> for these
materials.
Since raw materials are neither produced nor costed, they cannot be
assigned to a cost object hierarchy.

• The SAP error message KZ152 ("Material is a raw material - it cannot be assigned") typically occurs when you are trying to assign a raw material to a production order, bill of materials (BOM), or some other configuration where the system does not allow raw materials to be used in that context. This error is often encountered in the context of production planning and inventory management.

  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the material master or the production order may restrict the assignment of raw materials in specific contexts.
  BOM Structure: The structure of the BOM may not allow raw materials to be included in certain levels or components.
