• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L6035 - Batch defined although material is not subject to batch handling; (&) ?

  The SAP error message L6035 indicates that a batch has been defined for a material that is not set up to handle batches. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform a transaction involving batch management for a material that is not configured to use batch management in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Not Activated: The material in question is not set up for batch management in the material master data.
  Incorrect Configuration: The material type or plant settings may not allow for batch management, leading to this error when trying to process batches.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to perform (e.g., goods movement, stock transfer) may require batch management, but the material is not configured accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Plant Data" views to see if the batch management indicator is set.
  If the material should be batch-managed, you need to change the settings to enable batch management.
  
  
  
  Activate Batch Management:
  
  If the material should indeed be batch-managed, you can activate batch management by editing the material master (transaction code MM02).
  In the "Plant Data" view, set the "Batch Management" indicator.
  
  
  
  Review Material Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the material type assigned to the material allows for batch management. You can check this in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Types and verify the settings for the relevant material type.
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are performing is appropriate for the material's configuration. If the material is not intended to be batch-managed, avoid using batch-related transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings or the implications of enabling batch management, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
