• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LOBM_MESSAGES027 - Batch unique at plant level can not be handled. ?

  The SAP error message LOBM_MESSAGES027 indicates that there is an issue with handling batch management at the plant level. Specifically, it means that the system is unable to process a batch that is defined as unique at the plant level. This typically occurs in scenarios where batch management is enabled for materials, and the system is trying to perform operations that require batch identification.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The material in question is configured for batch management, and it is set to be unique at the plant level. This means that each batch must have a unique identifier within that specific plant.
  Batch Not Found: The batch you are trying to use may not exist in the specified plant or may not be properly assigned to the material.
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type being used may not be compatible with the batch management settings for the material.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the batch data or master data that prevent the system from processing the batch correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Batch Existence: Verify that the batch you are trying to use exists in the specified plant. You can do this by using transaction code MSC3N (Display Batch) to check the batch details.
  Review Material Master Settings: Ensure that the material master settings for batch management are correctly configured. You can check this using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and navigating to the "Plant Data / Storage" view.
  Movement Type Validation: Ensure that the movement type you are using is appropriate for the batch management process. You can check the movement type settings in the configuration.
  Batch Determination: If you are using batch determination, ensure that the batch determination procedure is correctly set up and that the criteria for batch selection are met.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the batch data and material master data to identify any discrepancies. You can use transaction code MMBE (Stock Overview) to check stock levels and batch information.
