  The SAP error message MILL085 ("Scrap material must not require batch handling") typically occurs in the context of production or inventory management when dealing with scrap materials in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is trying to process scrap material that is set up to require batch handling, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The material designated as scrap is configured to require batch management in the material master. This means that the system expects to track batches of this material, which is not compatible with how scrap is typically handled.
  Material Type Settings: The material type assigned to the scrap material may have settings that enforce batch management.
  Production Order Settings: The production order or process that is generating the scrap may be incorrectly configured to handle scrap materials that require batch management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MILL085 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record for the scrap material (transaction code MM02).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Plant Data" views to see if batch management is activated for this material.
  If batch management is not necessary for this scrap material, you can deactivate it by changing the relevant settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Type:
  
  If the material type assigned to the scrap material requires batch management, consider changing the material type to one that does not require batch handling, if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Production Order Configuration:
  
  Check the production order settings to ensure that scrap handling is configured correctly. Ensure that the scrap material is not being treated as a batch-managed item in the production process.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the material master or production order settings, consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant. They can provide guidance on the implications of changing batch management settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
