This error typically arises during transactions that involve material management, such as creating or updating material master records, processing purchase orders, or performing inventory management tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Material Not Created: The material has not been created in the specified plant.
  Incorrect Plant Code: The plant code provided in the transaction is incorrect or does not match any existing plant in the system.
