    The SAP error message VB_CNT_ACTIVATION005 indicates that a new entry has been created in the table TCUCH (which is related to batch status management) but the batch status management is currently inactive. This can occur in the context of batch management in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that are managed in batches.

    Cause:

    1. Inactive Batch Management: The primary cause of this error is that batch management is not activated for the material or plant in question. This means that while a new entry is being created in the TCUCH table, the system does not recognize it as valid because batch management is not enabled.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or in the batch management settings that prevent the system from properly activating batch management.
    3. Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the material or batch management settings that lead to this error.

      • If it is not activated, you can enable it by selecting the appropriate checkbox for batch management.
    2. Check Configuration:

      • Ensure that the batch management settings are correctly configured in the system. This can be done through the following path in SPRO:
        • Logistics > Production > Material Requirements Planning > Batch Management > Activate Batch Management.
      • Verify that the settings align with your business processes.
