  Error Message
  W7008: No material group materials exist in plant &1
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform an operation (such as creating or displaying a material group or running a report) that requires material group data for a specific plant, but no materials assigned to that material group exist in the specified plant.
  In other words, the system is indicating that within the plant you specified (plant number is substituted for &1), there are no materials assigned to the material group you are working with.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to display or process material groups in a plant where no materials have been assigned to that group.
  When running reports or transactions that expect material group data for a particular plant.

  Solution / How to resolve
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify if there are any materials assigned to the material group in the specified plant.
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) or MM60 (List Materials) to check materials by material group and plant.
  
  
  
  Assign Materials to Material Group:
  
  If no materials exist for the material group in the plant, create or assign materials to that group.
  Use MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to assign the material group to materials in the plant.
  
  
  
  Check Plant and Material Group Configuration:
  
  Ensure the plant exists and is correctly maintained.
  Verify the material group is valid and active.
