• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/MDL101 - Warehouse Material Group &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/MDL101 Warehouse Material Group &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when the system is unable to find a specified warehouse material group in the database. This can happen during various processes, such as when trying to create or manage materials, or during planning and execution processes.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Material Group: The specified warehouse material group (indicated by &1) does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo, or the group may not have been created yet.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the system is integrated with other systems (like SAP ERP), there may be synchronization issues where the material group exists in one system but not in another.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the material group.
  Configuration Issues: The warehouse or material group may not be properly configured in the system.

  Check Material Group: Verify that the warehouse material group exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., using transaction code OMW1 for material groups) and checking if the group is listed.
  Create Material Group: If the material group does not exist, you may need to create it. This can typically be done in the same transaction where you checked for its existence.
  Check for Typos: Ensure that there are no typographical errors in the material group name you are using.
  Data Synchronization: If your system is integrated with other systems, ensure that data synchronization processes are functioning correctly and that the material group is available in all relevant systems.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the material group. This may involve checking user roles and permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant SAP documentation or notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this error.
