How To Fix LP123 - Acc.to control parameters, material &1 requires specification of a batch

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: LP - WM-PP interface

• Message number: 123

• Message text: Acc.to control parameters, material &1 requires specification of a batch

What causes this issue?

Material &V1& is handled in batches. The batch entry control in the
material master requires batch input in the order. Possible errors:
No <DS:GLOS.batch>batch</> is defined in the order for this material
component.
Batches are already defined for the material component through a batch
split. However, the batch split is possibly not complete. This means
that the batch totals record contains an open quantity that is not yet
assigned to a batch.

How to fix this error?

Before the WM <DS:GLOS.material_staging>material staging</> can be
requested, define the batch in the order or change the batch entry
control in the material master.
If there is a batch split, the open quantity must be split in the batch
totals record into the existing batch single records or a complete
batch split must be executed.
