  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP_REL505 &1 Material &2 does not exist in the system typically indicates that the system is unable to find the specified material in the database. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during the processing of a transaction, report, or when trying to access material master data.
  Causes:
  
  Material Not Created: The material may not have been created in the system. This can happen if the material master record was never set up.
  Incorrect Material Number: The material number provided in the transaction may be incorrect or mistyped.
  Material Status: The material may exist but could be flagged as inactive or blocked, preventing it from being accessed.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the system is integrated with other systems (like a legacy system or another SAP instance), there may be synchronization issues leading to the material not being available.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the material.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Verify Material Existence: Check if the material number exists in the system by using transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) or MM02 (Change Material). If it does not exist, you will need to create it using MM01 (Create Material).
  Check for Typos: Ensure that the material number entered is correct and does not contain any typographical errors.
  Review Material Status: If the material exists but is inactive or blocked, you may need to change its status to active or unblock it.
  Data Consistency Check: If the system is integrated with other systems, ensure that data synchronization processes are functioning correctly and that the material data is consistent across systems.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary permissions to access the material. This may involve checking user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
