  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI412 - Material & is not an additional ?

    The SAP error message:

    WTADDI412: Material & is not an additional


    Cause:

    This error occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module when you try to add a material as an "additional" material in a warehouse task or transfer order, but the system does not recognize the material as an additional material for the relevant handling unit or warehouse process.

    In SAP WM, "additional materials" are materials that can be packed together with the main material in a handling unit or warehouse task. The system expects that the material you are trying to add is flagged or configured as an additional material in the system, but it is not.


    When does it occur?

    • When creating or processing warehouse tasks or transfer orders involving handling units.
    • When trying to add a material to a handling unit as an additional material, but the material is not defined or allowed as such.
    • During packing or unpacking processes in WM.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Verify if the material is maintained correctly in the system.
      • Check if the material is flagged or configured as an additional material in the relevant warehouse process.
    2. Check Warehouse Process Configuration:

      • Review the configuration for additional materials in the warehouse management customizing.
      • Ensure that the material is allowed to be used as an additional material in the relevant warehouse process or handling unit type.
    3. Handling Unit Configuration:

      • Check if the handling unit type allows the addition of this material as an additional material.
      • Verify packing instructions and allowed materials for the handling unit.
    4. Adjust the Process or Data:

      • If the material should be an additional material, update the master data or customizing accordingly.
      • If the material is not supposed to be an additional material, avoid adding it as such in the warehouse task or transfer order.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: LT01, LT10, LX01, /SCWM/PRDI (depending on WM or EWM)
    • Tables: LQUA (Quants), LTAK (Transfer Order Header), LTBK (Transfer Order Items)
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes for any known issues related to WTADDI412.
    • Documentation: SAP WM Handling Unit Management and Packing instructions documentation.

    Summary:

    The error "WTADDI412 Material & is not an additional" means the system does not recognize the material as an additional material in the warehouse process. To fix it, verify and adjust the material master data, warehouse process configuration, and handling unit settings to ensure the material is correctly defined as an additional material if needed.
