• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIUSB019 - Material must be of type NGL. ?

  The SAP error message OIUSB019, which states "Material must be of type NGL," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Oil and Gas (O&G) industry solutions, particularly when dealing with materials that are not classified correctly for the operations being performed.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the material you are trying to use in a transaction is not of the required type "NGL" (Natural Gas Liquids). In SAP, materials are classified into different types based on their characteristics and usage. The NGL type is specifically used for materials that are part of the natural gas liquids category, which includes products like propane, butane, and other liquid hydrocarbons derived from natural gas.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Type: Verify the material you are trying to use. Ensure that it is indeed classified as an NGL type. You can do this by checking the material master record in SAP.
  
  
  Change Material Type: If the material is not of type NGL and should be, you may need to change its classification. This can typically be done by:
  
  Navigating to the material master (transaction code MM02).
  Selecting the appropriate views and changing the material type to NGL if applicable.
  Note that changing material types may require appropriate authorizations and should be done with caution.
  
  
  
  Create New Material: If the existing material cannot be changed to NGL, consider creating a new material with the correct type. Use transaction code MM01 to create a new material and ensure it is set as NGL.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or guidelines specific to your organization regarding material classifications in SAP, especially for the Oil and Gas industry.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unsure about making changes or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP Oil and Gas solutions.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: Understanding how material types are defined and managed in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the material master data structure and the implications of different material types.
  SAP Configuration: If you are an SAP administrator, you may want to review the configuration settings related to material types in the IMG (Implementation Guide) under Logistics General > Material Master > Basic Settings.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view and modify material master data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the OIUSB019 error and proceed with your transaction.
