This error typically arises in scenarios where data filters are applied to restrict the materials that can be processed or viewed in a certain context, such as in reports, transactions, or data imports.
  Cause:
  
  Material Type Exclusion: The material type of the specified material (in this case, &2) is not included in the data filter (indicated by &3). This could be due to configuration settings that restrict certain material types from being processed.
  Configuration Issues: The data filter may have been set up incorrectly or may not have been updated to include the new material types that have been created.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access materials of that type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Filter Configuration:
