MILL094 - Details

• The SAP error message MILL094, which states "Default value cannot be changed to 'managed in single-unit batches'," typically occurs in the context of batch management in SAP, particularly in the materials management (MM) or production planning (PP) modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of batch management for a material.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Batch Management Settings: The material in question is likely already configured to be managed in a different batch management strategy (e.g., managed in multiple-unit batches). Changing it to "managed in single-unit batches" is not allowed if there are existing batches that do not conform to this new setting.
  
  
  Existing Batch Data: If there are already batches created for the material that are not compatible with the new setting, SAP will prevent the change to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  Material Type Restrictions: Certain material types may have restrictions on how batches can be managed, and changing the management type may violate
