🔴 Error Message: 29118
Description:
Material type HALB cannot be used with item category L (plant 0003).
Diagnosis (Root Cause)
- You are trying to add a component with material type HALB (semifinished product) using item category L (Stock item) in the BOM.
- Item category L requires quantity updating in inventory management.
- However, the material type HALB in plant 0003 is configured as “No quantity update” in the material master.
- This conflict leads to the system error
Resolution (How to Fix)
You must enable quantity updating for material type HALB in the valuation area (plant 0003).
Steps:
- Go to:
SPRO → SAP Reference IMG → Logistics – General → Material Master → Basic Settings → Material Types → Define Attributes of Material Types
(or directly use T-Code: OMS2)
2. Select material type HALB and double click on Quantity/Value Update.
- Check Quantity updating for valuation area/plant 0003.
- Enable Value updating if valuation is required.
3. Save the configuration.
Now, HALB can be used with item category L in BOM without error.
