• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR136 - This material does not exist in the organizational unit specified ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR136 - This material does not exist in the organizational unit specified
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a transaction or operation involving a material in a specific organizational unit (such as a plant, sales organization, or storage location), but the material master record does not exist or is not extended to that organizational unit.
  For example:  
  
  The material is not created or extended in the specified plant.  
  The material master data is missing for the sales organization or distribution channel you are working with.  
  You are trying to create or process a document (like a sales order, delivery, or goods movement) for a material that is not valid or maintained in the organizational unit.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) to verify if the material exists.
  Check if the material is extended to the organizational unit (plant, sales org, etc.) you are working with.
  
  
  
  Extend Material to Organizational Unit:
  
  If the material is not extended to the required plant or sales organization, use MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to extend the material master to the missing organizational unit.
  For example, extend the material to the plant in the Plant Data / Storage 1 view or to the sales organization in the Sales: Sales Org. Data 1 view.
  
  
  
  Verify Organizational Unit:
  
  Confirm that the organizational unit (plant, sales org, storage location) entered in the transaction is correct and active.
  Sometimes a typo or wrong organizational unit causes the system to look for the material in the wrong place.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to access the material master data for the organizational unit.

  Running reports or transactions that require material data in a specific organizational unit.
