  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+660 - The system found no materials for this selection ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W+660 The system found no materials for this selection


    Cause:

    This warning message occurs when you execute a transaction or report that requires material master data, but the system cannot find any materials matching the selection criteria you have entered. Essentially, the selection parameters (such as material number range, material type, plant, or other filters) do not correspond to any existing materials in the system.


    Common Scenarios:

    • Running a report or transaction that lists materials (e.g., material master list, stock overview) with restrictive or incorrect selection criteria.
    • Using filters that exclude all materials (e.g., wrong material type, plant, or status).
    • Material master data not maintained or materials not created yet for the selected criteria.
    • Typographical errors in material numbers or selection fields.

    Solution:

    1. Check Selection Criteria:

      • Review the input parameters carefully.
      • Broaden the selection range or remove some filters to include more materials.
      • Verify that the material numbers or ranges entered are correct and exist in the system.
    2. Verify Material Master Data:

      • Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) to check if the materials exist.
      • Confirm that materials are created and active in the relevant plant or organizational level.
    3. Adjust Filters:

      • If filtering by material type, plant, or status, ensure these are correct.
      • Try running the report or transaction without filters to see if materials appear.
    4. Check Authorization:

      • Sometimes, lack of authorization to view certain materials can cause no results.
      • Verify user permissions if applicable.
    5. Consult Logs or Debug:

      • If the issue persists, check system logs or debug the selection program to understand why no materials are found.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: W+660 is a warning message, not an error, so the system continues but informs you that no data was found.
    • Transactions where it may appear: Material reports (e.g., MM60 - List Materials), stock overview (MMBE), or custom reports involving material selection.
    • SAP Notes: If this occurs unexpectedly, check for relevant SAP Notes or patches related to the specific transaction or report.
    • Material Master Data Maintenance: Ensure that material master data is properly maintained and consistent across organizational levels.

    Summary:

    The message "W+660 The system found no materials for this selection" indicates that the system could not find any materials matching your selection criteria. To resolve it, verify and broaden your selection parameters, check material master data existence, and ensure correct filters and authorizations are applied.
