Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1124 - Action is only possible for batch-managed products ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1124 Action is only possible for batch-managed products typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to perform an action that is only applicable to batch-managed products on a product that is not batch-managed.
  Cause:
  
  Product Configuration: The product you are trying to process is not configured as a batch-managed product in the system. This means that the product does not have batch management enabled in its material master data.
  Action Type: The action you are trying to perform (e.g., stock transfer, picking, etc.) is specifically designed for batch-managed products, and since the product in question is not batch-managed, the system throws this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Configuration:
  
  Go to the material master data for the product in question (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Plant Data / Storage" view to see if batch management is enabled. If it is not, you may need to enable it if batch management is required for this product.
  
  
  
  Enable Batch Management:
  
  If the product should be batch-managed, you can enable batch management by changing the material type or adjusting the settings in the material master. This typically involves:
  
  Changing the material type to one that supports batch management.
  Setting the "Batch Management" indicator in the relevant views of the material master.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review the Action:
  
  If the product is not intended to be batch-managed, review the action you are trying to perform. Ensure that it is appropriate for non-batch-managed products. You may need to use a different process or transaction that does not require batch management.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on batch management and the specific actions you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the material master or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a consultant for assistance.
