How To Fix LP118 - Batch verification not required, although possible in WM (pick parts)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: LP - WM-PP interface

• Message number: 118

• Message text: Batch verification not required, although possible in WM (pick parts)

What causes this issue?

Material &V1& is handled in batches. The batch for the material
component was not defined in the order. Batch definition in the order
is not necessary. Because of this, confirmation of batches found in
the <GL:warehouse_management_system>WM system</> to the order is not
required. This material is defined in the WM system via the
<GL:control_cycle>control cycle</> as a pick part with a
<GL:dynamic_storage_bin>dynamic</> production storage bin. Processing
of pick parts with a dynamic production storage bin in the WM system
has the following special characteristics:

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Material staging always takes place with reference to an order.
The pick parts are managed for production in the WM system in a dynamic
production storage bin that is the same as the order number.
In this way, only material stock for an order is managed in a
production storage bin, that is, the supplied batches have a direct
reference to the order and are not mixed with batches of other orders
in the system.
For this reason, the batches determined in the WM system can be
confirmed to the order during transfer order confirmation. It is also
possible, however, for the WM system to determine the batches during
the GI consumption posting and to transmit these to the
<GL:inventory_management>IM system</>. These batches are selected in
the WM system from the respective production storage bin, which is
assigned as a dynamic storage bin to this order only.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the batch confirmation for this material is to take place
and, if required, change the batch entry control in the material
master.
