Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Material Type Restrictions: The material type (in this case, "FFF") is configured in the system to allow only the basic data view. This means that other views (like purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.) are not permitted for this material type.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) and navigate to the following path:
  Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Types > Define Attributes of Material Types
  
  Look for the material type "FFF" and check its configuration. Ensure that the views you want to maintain are allowed for this material type.
  
  
  
  Use Basic Data View:
  
  If you only need to create or modify the basic data, proceed with the transaction using only the basic data view. You can do this by selecting the appropriate options when creating or changing the material.
  
  
  
  Change Material Type (if necessary):
  
  If you need to maintain additional views for this material, consider changing the material type to one that allows for more views. This may involve creating a new material type or modifying the existing one, which should be done with caution and proper authorization.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the material type configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or functional consultant. They can provide guidance on the implications of changing material type settings.
