• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MW651 - Material &1 is listed in all plants of item &2 ?

  The SAP error message MW651 indicates that a material is listed in all plants for a specific item. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material master data management when trying to perform certain operations, such as deleting or changing a material that is still active in multiple plants.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to perform an action (like deleting or changing a material) on a material that is still assigned to all plants in the system. This means that the material is still being used in transactions or is part of the material master data across all relevant plants.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Usage: Verify if the material is still being used in any transactions or if it has any open purchase orders, stock, or other dependencies in the plants.
  
  
  Remove Material from Plants: If the material is no longer needed, you may need to remove it from the relevant plants. This can be done by:
  
  Changing the material status to "Blocked" or "Inactive" in the material master data.
  Deleting the material from specific plants if it is not required anymore.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Master Data: If you need to keep the material but change its attributes, ensure that you are not trying to delete it from all plants. Instead, make the necessary changes without attempting to delete it.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If the material is still in use, consult with relevant stakeholders (like procurement, production, or inventory management teams) to understand the implications of removing or changing the material.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) or MM06 (Block Material) to manage the material master data appropriately.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:

  MM02: Change Material
  MM03: Display Material

  MM17: Mass Change of Material
  
  
  
  Material Master Views: Understand the different views in the material master (Basic Data, Purchasing, Sales, etc.) and how they relate to plant-specific data.
  
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on material management and error handling.
  
  
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to material master data.
