• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MG444 - With direct input, the views selected are not considered ?

  The SAP error message MG444 indicates that when using direct input for material master data, the views you have selected are not being considered. This typically occurs during the data upload process when certain views of the material master are not compatible with the data being provided or are not activated in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  View Activation: The views you are trying to upload may not be activated in the system. For example, if you are trying to upload data for a material but the relevant views (like Basic Data, Sales, Purchasing, etc.) are not activated, the system will not process them.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Structure: The data structure you are using for the direct input may not match the expected structure for the views you are trying to upload. This can happen if the fields required for certain views are missing or incorrectly formatted.
  
  
  Missing Required Fields: Certain views may have mandatory fields that are not being populated in your input data. If these fields are missing, the system will ignore the views.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master that prevent certain views from being processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check View Activation: Ensure that the views you want to upload are activated in the material master. You can do this by checking the configuration in the material master settings.
  
  
  Review Input Data: Verify that the data you are trying to upload matches the required structure for the views. Make sure all mandatory fields are included and correctly formatted.
  
  
  Use Correct Direct Input Method: Ensure you are using the correct direct input method for the material master. Different views may require different methods or transaction codes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific direct input method you are using. This will provide details on the required fields and structure.
  
  
  Error Log Review: Check the error logs for more detailed information about why the views are not being considered. This can provide insights into specific fields or data issues.
  
  
  Testing: If possible, test the upload with a smaller dataset to isolate the issue. This can help identify if the problem is with specific records or fields.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material) to understand how the views are structured.
  Direct Input Programs: SAP provides specific programs for direct input (e.g., RMDATIND for material master). Make sure you are using the correct program for your data upload.
