  Error Message
  WSTI_CALC057: Batches are not supported
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP when you are trying to perform an operation or calculation in a scenario where batch management is not supported or enabled. Specifically:
  
  The system or the particular process (e.g., in SAP Transportation Management, SAP EWM, or SAP S/4HANA logistics processes) does not allow batch-managed materials to be processed in the current context.
  You might be trying to use batch-managed materials in a function or calculation that only supports non-batch materials.
  The master data or configuration for the material or process does not support batch handling.
  The integration or interface scenario expects non-batch materials but encounters batch-managed materials.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios Where This Occurs
  
  In SAP Transportation Management (TM), when freight cost calculations or freight unit building is done for batch-managed materials but the system or process does not support batch handling.
  In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Inventory Management, when batch-specific processes are not enabled or supported.
  During integration between SAP ERP and SAP TM or other logistics components where batch information is not passed or supported.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify if the material is batch-managed (check the "Batch Management" indicator in the material master - MM02, in the Basic Data or MRP views).
  If batch management is not required for the process, consider deactivating batch management for the material (if business processes allow).
  
  
  
  Adjust Process or Configuration:
  
  If batch management is required, ensure that the process or scenario supports batch handling.
  In SAP TM, check the freight unit building and calculation profiles to confirm if batch-managed materials are supported.
  Adjust the configuration to enable batch handling if possible.
  
  
  
  Use Non-Batch Materials:
  
  If the process does not support batch materials, use non-batch materials for the operation.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Settings:
  
  For integration scenarios, ensure that batch information is correctly mapped and supported.
  Update interfaces or middleware to handle batch data if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this error in your specific SAP component/version.
