• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OM403 - Field selection is not supported for mvmt type & & ?

  The SAP error message OM403, which states "Field selection is not supported for movement type & &," typically occurs when there is an issue with the configuration of movement types in the SAP system. This error is related to the field selection settings for specific movement types in the Material Management (MM) module.
  Cause:
  
  
  Movement Type Configuration: The movement type you are trying to use may not have the necessary field selection settings configured. This can happen if the movement type is not properly defined in the system or if it is not allowed to have certain fields selected.
  
  
  Field Selection Group: The field selection group assigned to the movement type may not support the fields you are trying to use. Each movement type can have different field selection groups that determine which fields are mandatory, optional, or hidden.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMJJ (or SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Inventory Management -> Movement Types).
  Find the movement type that is causing the error and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the field selection group assigned to the movement type is appropriate for the fields you are trying to use.
  
  
  
  Review Field Selection Groups:
  
  In the same configuration area, check the field selection groups assigned to the movement type.
  Make sure that the fields you are trying to enter or modify are allowed in the field selection group.
  
  
  
  Adjust Field Selection:
  
  If necessary, you can adjust the field selection settings for the movement type or create a new field selection group that includes the required fields.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the movement type again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on movement types and field selection.
