  The SAP error message M3174 indicates that there is an issue with the field selection string for a specific procurement type in the material master data. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find a valid field selection string in the table T130A for the specified procurement type.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Field Selection String: The procurement type specified in the material master does not have a corresponding field selection string defined in table T130A.
