• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM_PUR_SES100 - Batch managed products are not allowed. ?

  The SAP error message MM_PUR_SES100, which states "Batch managed products are not allowed," typically occurs in the context of purchasing or inventory management when dealing with materials that are batch-managed. This error indicates that the system is trying to perform an operation that is not permitted for batch-managed materials.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The material in question is configured as a batch-managed product, but the operation being attempted (such as creating a purchase order, goods receipt, or other inventory transactions) does not support batch management.
  Material Type Restrictions: Certain material types or purchasing processes may not allow batch-managed materials. For example, if the material type is set up in a way that does not support batch management, this error can occur.
  Document Type Settings: The document type being used for the transaction may not be configured to handle batch-managed materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings: 
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the settings under the "Basic Data" and "Purchasing" views. Ensure that the material is correctly set up for batch management.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the document type being used for the transaction (e.g., purchase order, goods receipt). Ensure that it is allowed to handle batch-managed materials. This can be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  
  
  
  Change Material Type:
  
  If the material does not need to be batch-managed, consider changing the material type to one that does not require batch management. This may involve creating a new material or changing the existing material's type, which should be done with caution and proper authorization.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the implications of changing settings, consult with an SAP Basis or functional consultant who can provide guidance based on your specific system setup.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or BAdIs:
  
  Sometimes, custom code or enhancements (like user exits or BAdIs) may restrict the use of batch-managed materials in certain transactions. Review any custom code that may be affecting the process.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), MM03 (Display Material), and ME21N (Create Purchase Order) to navigate through the material and purchasing processes effectively.
