• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPMP/LE021 - Packing proposal created for item &1 in acc. with batch characteristic ?

  The SAP error message /SAPMP/LE021 indicates that a packing proposal has been created for an item based on batch characteristics. This message typically arises in the context of the SAP Logistics Execution (LE) module, particularly during the packing process in warehouse management or shipping.
  Cause:
  The error message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that a packing proposal has been generated for a specific item based on its batch characteristics. This can occur when:
  
  Batch Management: The item in question is batch-managed, and the system has created a packing proposal that adheres to the characteristics defined for that batch.
  Packing Configuration: The packing configuration in the system is set to consider batch characteristics when creating packing proposals.
  Item Characteristics: The item has specific characteristics that dictate how it should be packed, which may include weight, volume, or other attributes defined in the batch.
  
  Solution:
  Since this message is informational, it does not indicate a problem that needs to be resolved. However, if you are looking to manage or modify the packing proposals, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Packing Proposals: Check the packing proposals generated for the item to ensure they meet your requirements. You can do this in the packing screen or through transaction codes like VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) or VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery).
  
  
  Adjust Batch Characteristics: If the packing proposal does not align with your expectations, review the batch characteristics assigned to the item. You may need to adjust these characteristics in the material master or batch management settings.
  
  
  Modify Packing Configuration: If necessary, you can modify the packing configuration in the system to change how packing proposals are generated. This can be done in the customizing settings under Logistics Execution.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on packing proposals and batch management.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Logistics Execution (LE): Gain insights into the broader Logistics Execution module, which encompasses shipping, transportation, and warehouse management.
