How To Fix O3331 - Defaults could not be determined for raw material

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 331

• Message text: Defaults could not be determined for raw material

What causes this issue?

The conversion modes "automatic" and "semi-automatic" may require
defaults to be maintained prior to Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI)
processing for raw materials. This plant/storage combination uses one
of these two conversion modes.

How to fix this error?

Either change the conversion mode in Customizing to use a different
conversion mode (that is, 3 or 4), or maintain the default parameters
for the material. If your system is configured to use the new default
transaction, use Transaction O3DEFAULTS.
If your system is still set up to use the old default transaction and
table, use Transactions O3C1 and O3C2.
You can check the setup of your system with Transaction O590.

Procedure for System Administrators

This message can be customized to appear as an error, warning,
information or success message or to appear not at all (Transaction
O591).
