• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM053 - Product &1 is not managed in batches - you do not need to enter a batch ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM053 indicates that the system is expecting a batch number for a product, but the product in question is not managed in batches. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and handling unit management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The product is not configured to be managed in batches in the material master. This means that the system does not require a batch number for this product.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are performing may require batch management, but the product is not set up for it.
  Incorrect Input: The user may have inadvertently tried to enter a batch number for a product that does not require it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record for the product in question (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Plant Data" views to see if the batch management indicator is set. If the product should be managed in batches, you may need to enable batch management.
  If the product is not supposed to be managed in batches, ensure that you are not entering a batch number during the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are performing is appropriate for the product type. If the transaction requires batch management, consider using a different product that is batch-managed or adjust the transaction accordingly.
  
  
  
  Adjust User Input:
  
  If you are entering a batch number, simply omit it for products that are not batch-managed. 
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific configuration and requirements for batch management in your organization.
