  • What causes this issue?

    In parameter INOUT_NEXT_MATNR, material number &V1& was transferred as
    the starting point. This material number, however, is not contained in
    table INOUT_MATNR_TAB. Normally, this inconsistency should not occur if
    the values are transferred to INOUT_NEXT_MATNR and INOUT_MATNR_TAB in
    subsequent calls as they were returned in previous calls of the
    function module.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Find out how an incorrect material number was saved in parameter
    INOUT_NEXT_MATNR. During the first call, the function module was
    possibly called without using the initial parameter INOUT_NEXT_MATNR
    within a sequence of blocked calls.
