• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FIP_BAL_MSG_CLASS028 - No entry in database table MARC ?

  The SAP error message FIP_BAL_MSG_CLASS028 indicating "No entry in database table MARC" typically occurs when the system is unable to find a specific material record in the MARC table, which contains plant data for materials. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during inventory management, material master data processing, or when executing certain transactions that require material information.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Material Master Data: The most common cause is that the material you are trying to access does not have an entry in the MARC table for the specified plant. This can happen if the material has not been created for that particular plant or if it has been deleted.
  Incorrect Material or Plant Code: The error may also occur if the material number or plant code entered is incorrect or does not exist in the system.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If there are issues with data synchronization between different modules or systems, it may lead to missing entries in the MARC table.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the material data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM03 to check if the material exists in the system.
  Ensure that the material is created for the specific plant you are working with. If not, you may need to create the material for that plant using transaction code MM01.
  
  
  
  Verify Material and Plant Codes:
  
  Double-check the material number and plant code you are using in your transaction to ensure they are correct.
  
  
  
  Create Missing Entries:
  
  If the material does not exist in the MARC table for the specified plant, you will need to create it. This can be done by creating or extending the material master record.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Synchronization:
  
  If you suspect data synchronization issues, consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that all relevant data is properly synchronized across the system.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the material data. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
