  Perform the Split: Once you are in the detail view, you should be able to split the materials as needed without encountering the error.
  
  
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform the split operation in the detail view. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Review Material Settings: If the issue persists, review the settings of the materials involved. Ensure that they are correctly configured for PME and that there are no other restrictions in place.
