  • 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:
    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
    (From: <ZH>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))

    How to fix this error?

    Either maintain a thermal expansion coefficient or change the conversion
    group to a different product type, other than chemical.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3076 - Thermal expansion coefficient is required for Material ?
    The SAP error message O3076, which states "Thermal expansion coefficient is required for Material," typically occurs in the context of materials management or when dealing with material properties in SAP, particularly in the context of engineering or manufacturing processes. This error indicates that the system requires a thermal expansion coefficient for a specific material, which is necessary for calculations related to thermal effects on materials.
    
    Cause: The error is caused by the absence of a defined thermal expansion coefficient for the material in question. This coefficient is essential for various engineering calculations, especially in scenarios involving temperature changes that can affect the dimensions and properties of materials.
    Solution: To resolve this error, you need to define the thermal expansion coefficient for the affected material. Here are the steps to do this: Access Material Master Data: Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM01 (Create Material) in SAP.
