• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MW084 - Material & is an industry material. No AR generated ?

  The SAP error message MW084 indicates that a material is classified as an "industry material," and as a result, no accounting records (AR) are generated for it. This typically occurs in the context of materials that are not intended for standard sales processes or inventory management, often used in specific industry scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Material Type: The material in question is likely defined as an industry material in the material master data. Industry materials are often used for specific purposes and may not be intended for standard sales or inventory processes.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in SAP may not allow for accounting records to be generated for this type of material.
  Missing Master Data: There may be missing or incorrect master data settings that prevent the generation of accounting records.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the material type and settings.
  Ensure that the material is set up correctly for the intended use. If it should generate accounting records, consider changing its material type.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to material types and accounting. This may involve consulting with your SAP configuration team or reviewing the relevant customizing settings in SPRO.
  Ensure that the industry material type is configured to allow for accounting records if that is the desired behavior.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to industry materials and their intended use. This can provide insights into whether the material should be generating accounting records.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform transactions related to the material. Sometimes, lack of authorization can lead to unexpected errors.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  If changes are made to the material type or configuration, conduct tests to ensure that the changes resolve the issue and that accounting records are generated as expected.
