• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB072 - No prop./prod. unit is assigned to material & for characteristic & ?

  The SAP error message LB072 ("No prop./prod. unit is assigned to material & for characteristic &") typically occurs in the context of handling materials in SAP, particularly when dealing with characteristics and properties in the context of batch management or classification.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is no production or property unit assigned to the specified material for the given characteristic. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The material may not have been properly configured in the system to include the necessary units of measure for its characteristics.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may be incomplete or incorrectly set up, particularly in the classification or batch management views.
  Characteristic Definition Issues: The characteristic itself may not be properly defined or linked to the material in the classification system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from recognizing the relationship between the material and its characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the LB072 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Classification, and Batch Management).
  Ensure that the material has the correct units of measure assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Characteristic Assignment:
  
  Check the characteristics assigned to the material in the classification view.
  Ensure that the characteristic is defined correctly and that it has the appropriate units of measure assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Production/Property Units:
  
  If the material is missing the production or property unit, you can assign it by going to the material master and editing the relevant views.
  Use transaction code MM02 to modify the material master and add the necessary units.
  
  
  
  Check Classification System:
  
  Ensure that the classification system is set up correctly and that the characteristics are linked to the correct classes.
  Use transaction code CL02 to check and modify characteristics if necessary.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks in the system to identify any data issues that may be causing the error.
  You can use transaction codes like SE11 or SE16 to check the underlying tables for inconsistencies.
