• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS826 - Material & has not been created yet ?

  The SAP error message QS826 ("Material & has not been created yet") typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when you are trying to perform an action related to a material that has not been defined in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating inspection plans, quality notifications, or during the execution of quality-related transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Material Not Created: The most straightforward cause is that the material in question has not been created in the SAP system.
  Material Status: The material may exist but could be in a status that prevents it from being used (e.g., blocked or inactive).
  Incorrect Material Number: There may be a typo or error in the material number being referenced.
  Missing Master Data: The material master data may not be fully maintained, particularly in the QM view.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create the Material: If the material does not exist, you need to create it using transaction code MM01 (Create Material). Ensure that you include the necessary views, especially the Quality Management view.
  Check Material Status: If the material exists, check its status. You can do this using transaction code MM03 (Display Material). Ensure that the material is active and not blocked.
  Verify Material Number: Double-check the material number you are using in your transaction to ensure it is correct.
  Maintain Master Data: If the material exists but lacks QM-specific data, you may need to maintain the QM view of the material master. Use transaction code MM02 (Change Material) to add or update the necessary information.
