  SAP Error Message: W_CB095 Material type &1 does not exist
  
  1. Cause
  This warning message occurs when the system tries to process or reference a material type that is not defined or does not exist in the SAP system. Material types are key configuration elements in SAP that categorize materials and control their behavior in various processes (e.g., procurement, inventory management, sales).
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  The material master record references a material type that has not been created or has been deleted.
  A custom program or transaction is trying to use a material type code that is invalid or mistyped.
  Data migration or upload attempts to assign a non-existent material type.
  Configuration inconsistencies between client systems or environments (e.g., development vs. production).
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve this warning, follow these steps:
  a) Verify the Material Type
  
  Check the material type code mentioned in the message (represented by &1).
  Go to transaction OMS2 (or SPRO ? Logistics - General ? Material Master ? Basic Settings ? Material Types ? Define Material Types) to verify if the material type exists.
  
  b) Create or Correct the Material Type
  
  If the material type does not exist, create it in OMS2 with the required settings.
  If the material type exists but is incorrect, correct the material master or the program logic to use the correct material type.
  
  c) Check Material Master Data
  
  Use transaction MM03 to display the material master and verify the material type assigned.
  If the material type is incorrect, change it using MM02 (if allowed).
  
  d) Review Custom Code or Data Uploads
  
  If the error occurs during data upload or custom program execution, check the source data or code for incorrect material type references.
  Correct the material type codes in the source files or program logic.
  
  e) Transport and Client Consistency
  
  Ensure that the material type exists in the client where the error occurs.
  If the material type was created in a different client or system, transport the configuration properly.
