• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B0349 - Default grouping does not exist. ?

  The SAP error message B0349, which states "Default grouping does not exist," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when there is an issue with the configuration of default groupings for certain master data, such as materials, vendors, or customers. This error can arise in various modules, including Materials Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The default grouping that the system is trying to reference does not exist in the configuration settings. This could be due to a missing entry in the relevant customizing tables.
  Incorrect Master Data: The master data (like material master, vendor master, etc.) may be incorrectly set up or may reference a grouping that has not been defined.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system (like a development system to a production system), the transport may not have included the necessary settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and navigate to the area where the default grouping is defined.
  Ensure that the default grouping you are trying to use is correctly set up and exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Create Missing Grouping:
  
  If the default grouping does not exist, you may need to create it. This can usually be done in the customizing settings for the relevant module (e.g., MM or SD).
  For example, if it’s related to material types, check the material type configuration and ensure that the default grouping is defined.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data records that are causing the error. Ensure that they are correctly assigned to the appropriate groupings.
  If necessary, update the master data to reference the correct grouping.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary configuration settings were included in the transport request.
  If something is missing, you may need to re-transport the configuration or manually create the missing entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any additional guidance or known issues.
