Message text: Thermal expansion coefficient is required for Material
"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:Either maintain a thermal expansion coefficient or change the conversion
group to a different product type, other than chemical.

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.
