  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3057 - Required data for material & does not exist in plant & ?

    The SAP error message M3057 indicates that required data for a material does not exist in the specified plant. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation related to a material (such as creating a purchase order, sales order, or production order) and the system cannot find the necessary data for that material in the specified plant.

    Causes:

    1. Material Master Data Missing: The material may not be set up in the specified plant. This can happen if the material was created but not extended to the plant in question.
    2. Plant-Specific Data Missing: Certain plant-specific data, such as purchasing info records, storage location data, or MRP data, may not have been maintained for the material in that plant.
    3. Incorrect Plant Code: The plant code entered may be incorrect or may not exist in the system.
    4. Material Status: The material may be blocked or inactive in the specified plant.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and enter the material number and plant code to check if the material exists in the specified plant.
      • If the material does not exist, you may need to create it or extend it to the plant using transaction code MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material).
    2. Extend Material to Plant:

      • If the material exists but is not extended to the plant, use transaction code MM01 to extend the material to the required plant. Make sure to fill in all necessary views (e.g., Basic Data, Purchasing, MRP, etc.) as required.
    3. Maintain Plant-Specific Data:

      • Ensure that all necessary plant-specific data is maintained for the material. This includes purchasing info records, storage location data, and MRP data.
    4. Verify Plant Code:

      • Double-check the plant code you are using in your transaction to ensure it is correct and exists in the system.
    5. Check Material Status:

      • Verify if the material is blocked or inactive. You can check this in the material master data. If it is blocked, you may need to change its status.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • MM01: Create Material
      • MM02: Change Material
      • MM03: Display Material
