• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MW776 - Code is not longer maintained by SAP ?

  The SAP error message MW776, which states "Code is no longer maintained by SAP," typically indicates that the specific material or product code you are trying to use is no longer supported or has been marked for deletion in the SAP system. This can happen for various reasons, such as the product being obsolete, replaced by a new version, or simply removed from the system due to business decisions.
  Causes:
  
  Obsolescence: The material code may have been marked as obsolete or no longer in use.
  Data Cleanup: Regular data maintenance processes may have led to the removal of certain codes.
  Migration or Upgrade: During system upgrades or migrations, certain codes may not be carried over.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration or business processes may lead to certain codes being deprecated.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Material Status: Verify the status of the material code in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) to see if the material is marked as inactive or obsolete.
  Consult with Master Data Team: If you believe the code should still be active, consult with your master data management team to understand why it was marked as no longer maintained.
  Use Alternative Codes: If the code is indeed obsolete, look for alternative material codes that can be used in its place. This may involve checking for newer versions or substitutes.
  Recreate the Material: If necessary, and if you have the appropriate permissions, you may need to create a new material code that reflects the current product offering.
  System Configuration Review: If this issue is widespread, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration and data management practices to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  Related Information:
