• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LP142 - Ingredient processing in WM only possible with confirmat. batch to order ?

  The SAP error message LP142, which states "Ingredient processing in WM only possible with confirmed batch to order," typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) and Production Planning (PP) when there is an issue with the handling of ingredients or components in a production order. This error indicates that the system requires a confirmed batch for the ingredients before they can be processed in the warehouse.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management: The error often arises when batch management is enabled for the materials involved, and the system expects a confirmed batch to be assigned to the production order.
  Order Status: The production order may not be in a status that allows for ingredient processing, such as being unconfirmed or not released.
  Warehouse Management Settings: There may be specific settings in the WM configuration that require confirmation of batches before they can be used in production.
  Stock Availability: The required stock may not be available in the warehouse, or the stock may not be properly assigned to the production order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Confirm the Batch: Ensure that the batch for the ingredient is confirmed in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like CO11N (for confirming production orders) or MB1C (for inventory adjustments).
  Check Order Status: Verify that the production order is in the correct status (e.g., released) and that it allows for ingredient processing.
  Review WM Settings: Check the Warehouse Management settings to ensure that they align with your business processes. You may need to adjust the configuration to allow for ingredient processing without a confirmed batch if that is appropriate for your operations.
  Stock Availability: Ensure that the required stock is available in the warehouse and is properly assigned to the production order. You can check stock levels using transaction MMBE (Stock Overview).
  Batch Determination: If batch determination is required, ensure that the batch determination procedure is correctly set up in the system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO11N, MB1C, MMBE, and LT03 (for transfer orders).
  Batch Management Configuration: Review the configuration settings for batch management in the SAP system, which can be found under the following path: SPRO > Logistics - General > Material Master > Batch Management.
  Warehouse Management Configuration: Check the WM configuration settings to ensure they are set up correctly for your business processes.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message or provide additional guidance.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
