    <DS:GLOS.8773AEF27A0060459645018C2FDD1BB0>Documentary batches</> must be
    entered for a component of the BOM.
    Because you cannot enter documentary batches for separate confirmation
    for further postings in the background, the system does not allow you to
    save.

    System Response

    It is not possible to save the confirmation because:
    The use of documentary batches has been activated in Customizing for
    <ZK>Batch Management </>(<DS:SIMG.VBDOCUBATCH_OMCDB>Activate
    Documentary Batch</>)
    Documentary batches must be entered for at least one component in the
    BOM
    In other words, in Customizing for <ZK>Batch Management</> under
    <ZK>Documentary Batch</> you have defined that documentary batches must
    be entered for the <DS:SIMG.V_T134_DOCUBATCH>material type</>, the
    <DS:SIMG.TCUDB_PROCESS>process step</> or you have made this setting in
    the <DS:SIMG.DOCUBATCH_PRODUCT>Business Add-In</>.
    In Customizing for <ZK>Repetitive Manufacturing </>for the
    <DS:DE.CO_PRZST>Control Confirmation Process</>, you have specified
    separate confirmation
    (<DS:SIMG.SIMG_CFMENUOPP3OSP2>Define Repetitive Manufacturing
    Profiles</>)

    How to fix this error?

    To post the confirmation for materials that must be managed in
    documentary batches, you must:
    Use a different confirmation process control in repetitive manufacturing
    ( <DS:SIMG.SIMG_CFMENUOPP3OPKD>Define Confirmation Processes</>)
    Or when confirming in the detail screen (@D4@ <LS>Detail</>) for
    <DS:DE.CO_PWAUS>Backflushing</> and
    <DS:DE.CO_PWAUS>Actual Cost Determination</> choose the value
    ' ' (<LS>Immediately in the Dialog</>).

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
