Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VLSC013 - Component & is a co-product. No batch assignment is possible. ?

  The SAP error message VLSC013 indicates that a component is defined as a co-product, and as such, it cannot be assigned to a batch. This typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders where co-products are involved.
  Cause:
  
  Co-Product Definition: In SAP, co-products are materials that are produced simultaneously in a process and have significant economic value. When a material is defined as a co-product, it is treated differently than regular components.
  Batch Management: The system does not allow batch assignment for co-products because they are not typically tracked in the same way as standard products. This is a design choice in SAP to simplify the management of co-products.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Review Co-Product Settings:
  
  Check the material master data for the component in question. Ensure that it is correctly defined as a co-product and that the settings align with your production process.
  If the component should not be a co-product, you may need to change its classification in the material master.
  
  
  
  Adjust Production Order:
  
  If the production order is incorrectly set up, you may need to adjust it. Ensure that the components and co-products are correctly defined in the BOM (Bill of Materials) and routing.
  If the production order is already released, you may need to cancel or reverse it and create a new one with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Batch Management Configuration:
  
  If batch management is required for the component, consider whether it should be redefined as a standard product instead of a co-product. This may involve changes in the material master and BOM.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to co-products and batch management.
  
  
  
  Custom Development:
  
  If your business process requires batch management for co-products, you may need to consider custom development or enhancements to the standard SAP functionality.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master: Check the material type and settings in the material master (transaction code MM02).
  BOM and Routing: Review the BOM and routing for the production order to ensure that all components are correctly defined.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in production planning and order management are trained on the handling of co-products and batch management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a suitable solution.
