This typically occurs in the context of batch management, where the system expects a configuration record for a specific batch but cannot find it.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Batch Configuration: The most common cause is that the batch configuration record for the specified material does not exist in the TCUH table.
  Incorrect Material or Batch: The material or batch number you are trying to use may not be correctly specified or may not exist in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in related tables that are required for batch management.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Batch Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code MSC2N (Display Batch) and check if the batch exists for the material in question.
