• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3305 - Thermal expansion coefficient can not be zero for product type 'chemical' ?

  The SAP error message O3305, which states "Thermal expansion coefficient cannot be zero for product type 'chemical'," typically occurs in the context of material master data or product configuration in SAP, particularly when dealing with chemical products. This error indicates that the thermal expansion coefficient, a critical property for materials that describes how much a material expands when heated, has not been set or is incorrectly set to zero.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The thermal expansion coefficient for the chemical product has not been entered in the material master data.
  Incorrect Configuration: The coefficient may have been set to zero either by mistake or due to an error in data entry.
  Product Type Restrictions: The system may have specific requirements for chemical products that necessitate a non-zero thermal expansion coefficient.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
