• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VBOB_MM_OB102 - Original batch will not be created ?

  The SAP error message VBOB_MM_OB102, which states "Original batch will not be created," typically occurs in the context of batch management in SAP, particularly when dealing with materials that are managed in batches. This error can arise during various processes, such as goods movements, production orders, or inventory management.
  Causes:
  
  
  Batch Management Settings: The material may not be properly configured for batch management. If the material is not set to manage batches, the system will not allow the creation of an original batch.
  
  
  Batch Status: The batch status may be set to "Blocked" or "Inactive," preventing the creation of new batches.
  
  
  Batch Number Assignment: There may be issues with the batch number assignment, such as the number range not being defined or exhausted.
