• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL_PC345 - No batch determination possible for material & in 'Goods Receipts' area ?

  The SAP error message MILL_PC345 "No batch determination possible for material & in 'Goods Receipts' area" typically occurs during the goods receipt process when the system is unable to determine a suitable batch for the specified material. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Batch Management Not Activated: The material may not be set up for batch management in the material master. If batch management is required but not activated, the system will not be able to determine a batch.
  
  
  Batch Not Available: There may be no available batches for the material in the specified storage location. This can happen if all batches are either used up or blocked.
  
  
  Batch Determination Strategy: The batch determination strategy may not be configured correctly. If the strategy does not match the criteria for the material or the goods receipt process, the system will not find a suitable batch.
  
  
  Storage Location Issues: The storage location where the goods receipt is being processed may not have any batches available for the material.
  
  
  Batch Status: The status of the available batches may not allow them to be used for the goods receipt. For example, if a batch is blocked or expired, it cannot be selected.
  
  
  Material Type Settings: The material type settings may not allow for batch determination in the goods receipt process.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master: Verify that batch management is activated for the material in the material master (MM01/MM02). Ensure that the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Purchasing, and Plant Data) are correctly maintained.
  
  
  Check Available Batches: Use transaction code MSC3N to check the available batches for the material in the specified storage location. Ensure that there are active and usable batches.
  
  
  Review Batch Determination Strategy: Check the batch determination strategy settings in customizing (SPRO). Ensure that the strategy is correctly defined and that it matches the requirements for the goods receipt process.
  
  
  Check Storage Location: Ensure that the storage location where the goods receipt is being processed has available batches for the material.
  
  
  Batch Status Review: Check the status of the batches to ensure they are not blocked or expired. You can do this using transaction code MSC3N or by checking the batch information in the material master.
  
  
  Material Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the material type to ensure it allows for batch management and batch determination during the goods receipt process.
