  The SAP error message PIC01075 indicates a problem with the interchangeability of materials in a production or inventory context. This message typically arises when there is an attempt to use a material that is not interchangeable with another material due to certain restrictions or settings in the system.
  Cause:
  The error message PIC01075 is triggered when:
  
  Material Master Settings: The materials involved have been defined in the material master with restrictions on interchangeability. This could be due to different characteristics, quality levels, or other attributes that prevent them from being considered interchangeable.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may not allow for the interchangeability of the specified materials. This could be due to settings in the material type, plant settings, or other related configurations.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, the specific batches of materials may not be interchangeable due to quality issues or other batch-specific characteristics.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type being used for the transaction may have restrictions that prevent the interchangeability of the materials.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PIC01075 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Review the material master records for both materials involved in the transaction. Ensure that the interchangeability settings are correctly configured.

  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to material types and plant settings to ensure that they allow for interchangeability.

  Batch Management:
  
  If batch management is enabled, verify the characteristics of the batches being used. Ensure that they meet the requirements for interchangeability.
  If there are quality issues with a batch, consider using a different batch that meets the interchangeability criteria.
  
  
  
  Transaction Type:
  
  Review the transaction type being used. Some transaction types may have specific restrictions on material interchangeability. Ensure that the correct transaction type is being used for the operation.
