• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7195 - Empties mat. is subj. to batch managemnt. Full prod. must also be counted ?

  The SAP error message M7195 indicates that there is an issue related to the management of empty materials (empties) that are subject to batch management. This error typically arises in the context of inventory management and production processes where both full products and their associated empties need to be accounted for.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Requirement: The material in question is set up for batch management, which means that it needs to be tracked in batches for inventory purposes.
  Empty Materials: The system is indicating that the empty materials (like containers or packaging) are also subject to batch management, and therefore, they must be counted and managed alongside the full products.
  Production Order Issues: The error may occur when trying to perform a production order or inventory transaction that does not account for the necessary batch management of both full products and their empties.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master Settings: Ensure that the material master records for both the full product and the empty materials are correctly configured for batch management. This includes checking the batch management settings in the material master.
  Inventory Count: Make sure that both full products and empties are included in the inventory count. You may need to perform a physical inventory count to ensure that all items are accounted for.
  Production Order Review: Review the production order to ensure that it includes the necessary components for both full products and empties. If the order does not account for the empties, you may need to adjust it.
  Batch Management Configuration: If you are not using batch management for empties but need to, you may need to adjust the configuration in the system to enable batch management for those materials.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps on how to manage batch-managed materials and empties.
