• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STEP768 - Create MAT VIEW &1: View &2, &3 found ?

  The SAP error message "STEP768 Create MAT VIEW &1: View &2, &3 found" typically occurs during the creation of a material view in the SAP system. This error indicates that there is a conflict because the system has found existing views that are already defined for the material in question.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Views: The error arises when you attempt to create a material view that already exists in the system. The system checks for existing views and finds that the view you are trying to create is already defined.
