• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PIC01073 - No plant-specific data exists for material &1 ?

  The SAP error message PIC01073 indicates that there is no plant-specific data available for the specified material. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that requires plant-specific information, such as creating a production order, performing a goods movement, or executing a material requirement planning (MRP) run.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Plant Data: The material has not been assigned any data for the specific plant in which you are trying to perform the operation. This could be due to:
  
  The material not being created for that plant.
  The material master data not being maintained properly for the plant.
  The material being marked for deletion in that plant.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Plant Assignment: The material may exist in the system, but it is not assigned to the plant you are working with.
  
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the material was recently created or modified, there may be a delay in data synchronization across different modules or systems.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the Material Master (Transaction Code: MM03) and check if the material exists for the specified plant.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create the plant-specific data using Transaction Code: MM01 (Create Material) and ensure that you select the appropriate views (e.g., Basic Data, Purchasing, Sales, etc.) for the plant.
  
  
  
  Maintain Plant-Specific Data:
  
  If the material exists but lacks specific data for the plant, you can maintain the necessary data using Transaction Code: MM02 (Change Material).
  Ensure that all relevant views are filled out correctly for the plant.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion Flags:
  
  Verify if the material is flagged for deletion in the plant. If it is, you may need to remove the deletion flag.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes or if the issue persists, consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can assist in troubleshooting the issue further.
