• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB130 - Material & does not need to be handled in batches ?

  The SAP error message LB130, which states "Material & does not need to be handled in batches," typically occurs when you are trying to perform a batch-related transaction on a material that is not configured to be managed in batches. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Configuration: The material in question is not set up to be handled in batches. This can happen if the material type or the specific material master record does not have batch management enabled.
  Batch Management Settings: The batch management settings in the material master may not be activated. This is usually found in the "Basic Data" or "Plant Data" views of the material master.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are trying to execute (e.g., goods movement, production order) expects batch management to be enabled for the material.
  
  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 batch management is activated.
  If batch management is not activated, you can change it by using transaction code MM02 to modify the material master. Ensure that the "Batch Management" checkbox is checked.
  
  
  
  Material Type Configuration:
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to perform is appropriate for the material. If the material is not intended to be handled in batches, you may need to adjust your process or use a different material.
