• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLMDISCALC029 - Material &1 used in table &2, but not available on the DB ?

  The SAP error message PLMDISCALC029 indicates that a material (denoted as &1) is referenced in a specific table (denoted as &2), but it is not available in the database. This typically occurs in the context of planning and material management processes, particularly when dealing with material master data.
  Cause:
  
  Material Deletion: The material may have been deleted or marked for deletion in the system, but references to it still exist in the planning tables.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database, such as missing entries in the material master or related tables.
  Transport Issues: If the material was recently transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been included in the transport request.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the material, leading to the perception that it is not available.
  Database Issues: There could be issues with the database itself, such as corruption or connectivity problems.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Status: Verify the status of the material in the material master (transaction MM03). Ensure that it is not marked for deletion and is active.
  Recreate Material: If the material has been deleted and is still needed, you may need to recreate it in the system.
  Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the relevant tables to identify and resolve any inconsistencies. This can often be done using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility).
  Transport Check: If the material was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and successfully transported.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the material. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Database Health Check: If you suspect database issues, consult your database administrator to check for any problems or inconsistencies in the database.
