  The SAP error message IS187 ("No configuration is maintained in plant & - plant entry ignored") typically occurs in the context of SAP's variant configuration (VC) when there is an attempt to create or process a configurable material, but the system cannot find the necessary configuration settings for the specified plant.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The primary cause of this error is that there is no configuration maintained for the specified plant in the variant configuration settings. This means that the system does not know how to handle the configurable material for that particular plant.
