How To Fix O3075 - Fixed & is missing for materials with product type 3 ("Chemicals")

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: O3 - IS-Oil: HPM messages (goods movements, QCI, deliveries)

• Message number: 075

• Message text: Fixed & is missing for materials with product type 3 ("Chemicals")

What causes this issue?

"Chemical" products (Product type 3 in the conversion group, which
corresponds to API/ASTM tables 6C, 24C, 54C, 60C)) require a fixed
density/gravity and thermal expansion coefficient before quantities for
such products can be calculated from mass to volume or from volume to
mass.
This data has to be maintained correctly for chemical products in the
material master.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The API c-code routines of type C (6C, 24C, 54C, 60C) should be used:
(from: THE USE OF THE PETROLEUM MEASUREMENT TABLES - Manual of
Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 11.1 (API Std. 2540, ASTM
D1250, IP200, ISO 91-1, Revised October 1995))
if tables of type A or B do not appear to adequately represent the
thermal expansion properties of interest.
if precise thermal expansion coefficients may be obtained directly or
indirectly by experiment
if buyer and seller agree that, for their use, a greater degree of
equity can be obtained

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3075 - Fixed & is missing for materials with product type 3 ("Chemicals") ?

  The SAP error message O3075 indicates that a fixed characteristic is missing for materials classified under product type 3 ("Chemicals"). This error typically arises in the context of SAP's classification system, particularly when dealing with materials that require specific characteristics for proper classification and management.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Fixed Characteristics: The error occurs when a material that is classified as a chemical does not have all the required fixed characteristics defined in the classification system. Fixed characteristics are attributes that must be present for certain product types, and for chemicals, these could include properties like chemical composition, hazard classification, or physical state.
  
  
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not have been fully maintained, leading to missing information that is necessary for the classification of chemicals.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the classification system in SAP, where the required characteristics for product type 3 have not been properly set up.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the affected materials. Ensure that all required fixed characteristics for product type 3 are filled in. You can do this by navigating to the material master record and checking the classification view.
  
  
  Maintain Fixed Characteristics: If any fixed characteristics are missing, you will need to maintain them. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the classification view of the material master.
  Adding the necessary characteristics that are required for chemicals.
  
  
  
  Review Classification Settings: If the issue persists, check the classification settings in the SAP system:
  
  Go to the transaction code CL02 (Change Class) to review the class type for chemicals.
  Ensure that the fixed characteristics are correctly defined for the class type associated with product type 3.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific characteristics required for chemicals. This can provide guidance on what attributes need to be included.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the material master and classification settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the material creation or modification process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM02 (Change Material), CL02 (Change Class), and CL30 (Display Characteristics).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide additional insights or patches that could resolve the issue.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training sessions or documentation on SAP classification and material management to better understand how to manage fixed characteristics effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the O3075 error and ensure that your materials classified as chemicals have the necessary fixed characteristics defined.
