• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR106 - Item & does not contain a product ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR106 - Item & does not contain a product
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module when you try to process a sales document (like a sales order, delivery, or billing document) and the item line does not have a material/product assigned to it. In other words, the system expects a material number in the item but finds it missing or blank.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Every item in a sales document typically requires a material number (product) to identify what is being sold or processed.
  If the material field is empty or not maintained, the system cannot proceed because it does not know what product the item refers to.
  This can happen if the user forgets to enter the material or if the material master data is incomplete or incorrectly referenced.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Item Data:
  
  Go to the sales document (e.g., VA01, VA02) and verify that each item line has a valid material number entered.
  If missing, enter the correct material number.
  
  
  
  Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure the material exists in the system (use transaction MM03 to check).
  Verify that the material is valid for sales (sales views maintained).
  
  
  
  Copying from Reference Documents:
  
  If the sales document is created by copying from another document, ensure the material data is correctly copied.
  Sometimes, custom enhancements or user exits might clear the material field unintentionally.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If the error occurs unexpectedly, check if any user exits, BADIs, or enhancements are modifying the item data and removing the material.
  
  
  
  Data Uploads or Interfaces:
  
  If the document is created via data upload or interface, verify that the material field is correctly populated in the input data.
