• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TBLP059 - Serialised material, quantity set to integer value ?

  The SAP error message TBLP059, which states "Serialised material, quantity set to integer value," typically occurs in the context of handling serialized materials in SAP. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected quantity format for serialized materials and the value being provided.
  Cause:
  
  Serialized Material Handling: In SAP, serialized materials are tracked individually, meaning each unit has a unique serial number. When processing transactions involving serialized materials, the system expects the quantity to be set to 1, as each serialized item is treated as a distinct entity.
  Incorrect Quantity Input: If a user attempts to input a quantity greater than 1 for a serialized material, the system will trigger this error because it cannot process multiple units of a serialized item in a single transaction.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or in the transaction type that are not aligned with the handling of serialized materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Quantity Input: Ensure that when processing transactions for serialized materials, the quantity is set to 1. If you need to handle multiple serialized items, you will need to process them individually.
  Review Transaction Type: If you are using a custom transaction type, verify that it is configured correctly to handle serialized materials. Ensure that the system is set to expect a quantity of 1 for serialized items.
  Material Master Settings: Check the material master data for the serialized material to ensure that it is correctly set up for serialization. This includes verifying that the material is marked as serialized in the material master.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle serialized materials correctly within the SAP system to avoid input errors.
