• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01063 - Batch management is mandatory for the material ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01063 indicates that batch management is mandatory for a specific material, but the system is unable to process the transaction because the material is not set up correctly for batch management. This typically occurs in scenarios where batch management is required for inventory management, production, or sales processes.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Configuration: The material in question is configured to require batch management, but the necessary settings in the material master record are not properly defined.
  Batch Management Indicator: The batch management indicator may not be activated for the material in the material master.
  Transaction Context: The transaction being executed (e.g., goods movement, production order) requires batch management, but the material is not set up to handle batches.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the Material Master (Transaction Code: MM03).

  Review Batch Management Configuration:
