  The SAP error message CFV087 "No suitable entry found for material &1 in plant &2" typically occurs in the context of production planning or material requirements planning (MRP) when the system is unable to find a valid entry for a specific material in the specified plant. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Material Not Extended to Plant: The material may not be extended to the specified plant. This means that the material master data has not been created or maintained for that particular plant.

  Inactive Material: The material could be marked as inactive or obsolete in the system, which would prevent it from being used in planning.
  
  
  Plant-Specific Data Missing: There may be missing or incomplete plant-specific data in the material master, such as storage location or valuation data.
