• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2R261 - Subitems must be non-statistical (item &1 of main item &2) ?

  The SAP error message WB2R261 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of subitems in a document, specifically that subitems must be non-statistical. This error typically arises in the context of inventory management or material management when dealing with subitems in a main item.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create or process a subitem that is marked as statistical. In SAP, statistical items are used for reporting purposes and do not affect inventory valuation or stock levels. However, subitems must be non-statistical to ensure proper inventory management and valuation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the subitems you are trying to create or process are set up correctly as non-statistical. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Item Configuration:
  
  Go to the material master record for the main item (transaction code MM03).
  Check the configuration of the subitems. Ensure that they are not marked as statistical.
  
  
  
  Adjust Subitem Settings:
  
  If you find that the subitems are incorrectly configured, you may need to change their settings. This can typically be done in the material master record (transaction code MM02) or through the relevant configuration settings in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Check the document type settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO). Ensure that the document types used for creating the main item and subitems allow for non-statistical entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling statistical and non-statistical items in your version of SAP.
