How To Fix VO208 - Exception MATERIAL_NOT_FOUND for material & has occurred

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VO - W&S: Rough workload forecast + picking wave

• Message number: 208

• Message text: Exception MATERIAL_NOT_FOUND for material & has occurred

What causes this issue?

Within the respective document, an item was entered that contains
material &V1& and points to plant &V2&.
For the respective item, however, no storage location was specified, so
an automatic storage location determination was carried out.
Using the above and other information, the system attempted to
determine a storage location. No storage location could be determined,
however.
The technical reason for this is that the function module for storage
location determination SD_STORAGE_LOCATION_DETERMINE triggered the
exception MATERIAL_NOT_FOUND.
The reasons for this could be:
The general master data (MARA) is missing for material &V1&.
The plant-specific master data (MARC) is missing in plant &V2& for
material &V1&.
Other possible data missing in connection with the material master that
was unfortunately not specified by the function module for the storage
location determination.

System Response

The storage location is required because a combination of it and the
plant are used to derive the warehouse number. Since no storage
location was found, no warehouse number was found.
The workload data is updated with the initial value for the warehouse
number.

How to fix this error?

Examine the master data for the material/plant &V1&/&V2& for the
possible error causes.
