  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_009 - Data of the component material &1 could not be read ?

    The SAP error message:

    W_009 Data of the component material &1 could not be read


    Cause:

    This warning message typically occurs during the processing of a Bill of Materials (BOM) or production order when the system tries to read the data of a component material but fails. The failure can be due to several reasons:

    • The component material (&1) does not exist in the material master.
    • The material master record for the component is incomplete or locked.
    • The material is flagged as deleted or blocked for certain transactions.
    • Authorization issues preventing the system from reading the material data.
    • Data inconsistencies or missing entries in related tables (e.g., MAST, STPO).
    • The component material is not valid for the plant or the BOM usage.

    Solution:

    To resolve the issue, perform the following checks and actions:

    1. Verify Material Master:

      • Check if the component material (&1) exists in the material master (transaction MM03).
      • Ensure the material is valid for the plant and BOM usage.
      • Confirm that the material is not flagged for deletion or blocked.
    2. Check BOM Data:

      • Review the BOM where the component is used (transaction CS03).
      • Ensure the component is correctly assigned and active in the BOM.
    3. Check Authorizations:

      • Verify that the user or background job has the necessary authorizations to read material master data.
    4. Check Data Consistency:

      • Run consistency checks for BOM and material master data.
      • Use transaction CS14 (BOM consistency check) or report RCSBOM00.
    5. Material Master Lock:

      • Check if the material master record is locked by another user or process.
    6. Recreate or Update Material Master:

      • If the material master is incomplete or corrupted, update or recreate the material master record.
    7. Check for Custom Enhancements:

      • If custom code or user exits are involved in BOM processing, verify that they handle material data correctly.
