• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/BATCH072 - Product &1 (valuation type &2) is split-valuated without batches ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/BATCH072 indicates that a product (material) is configured as split-valuated but does not have batch management enabled. This typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when dealing with materials that have multiple valuation types but are not set up to manage batches.
  Cause:
  
  Split Valuation Configuration: The material is set up for split valuation, which means it can have different valuation types (e.g., different sources of supply, quality, etc.).
  Batch Management Not Activated: The material is not configured to use batch management, which is necessary for managing inventory at a more granular level (e.g., by batch number).
  Inconsistent Settings: There may be inconsistencies in the material master data settings, where the valuation type is defined but batch management is not activated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Accounting" view and ensure that the valuation type is correctly set up.
  Verify if the "Batch Management" checkbox is activated in the "Basic Data" or "Plant Data" view.
  
  
  
  Activate Batch Management:
  
  If batch management is required for this material, you need to activate it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the material master (transaction code MM02).
  Selecting the appropriate views (e.g., Basic Data, Plant Data) and enabling batch management.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Valuation Type:
  
  If batch management is not needed for this material, consider adjusting the valuation type to a non-split valuation type. This can be done in the material master settings.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Process Owners:
  
  If you are unsure whether to enable batch management or change the valuation type, consult with the relevant business process owners or stakeholders to understand the implications of these changes.
