  The SAP error message AG024 indicates that there is no checking group maintained for a specific product in a particular plant within the material master. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a transaction that requires a checking group, such as creating a production order, performing a goods movement, or executing a material requirement planning (MRP) run.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the material master record for the specified product and plant does not have a checking group assigned. The checking group is essential for various processes, including inventory management and production planning, as it determines how the system should handle the material in terms of availability checks, stock levels, and other related processes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the checking group for the material in the material master. Here are the steps to do this:

  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the checking group, save the changes to the material master record.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Transaction:
  
  Once the checking group is maintained, re-attempt the transaction that triggered the error.
