WSD_MESSAGE013
- External material number is not permitted for this material type ?Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message: SAP Error Message: WSD_MESSAGE013: External material number is not permitted for this material type
Cause: This error occurs when you try to assign or use an external material number (also known as an external ID or external material code) for a material type that does not allow external material numbers in the system configuration. In SAP, materials can have multiple identifiers: Internal material number: The primary material number assigned by SAP. External material number: An additional number, often used for integration with external systems or customer/vendor references. However, not all material types are configured to accept external material numbers. The system checks the material type settings, and if the material type is configured to disallow external numbers, this error is triggered. Where does this happen? When creating or changing a material master record. When integrating materials from external systems. When using transactions or interfaces that attempt to assign an external material number
