• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DFE029 - No logistics data exists in table MARC for material &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_DFE029 No logistics data exists in table MARC for material &1
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the system could not find any logistics data for the specified material in the MARC table. The MARC table contains plant-specific data for materials, such as procurement type, MRP data, and other logistics-related information.
  
  The material master record exists (likely in table MARA), but there is no entry for this material in the MARC table for the relevant plant.
  This situation typically occurs if the material has not been extended to the plant or if the plant-specific data has not been maintained.
  Without MARC data, logistics processes like MRP, production planning, or procurement cannot be executed for that material in the plant.
  
  
  When does this occur?
  
  When trying to run logistics transactions or reports that require plant-specific material data.
  During MRP runs, production order creation, or any process that needs plant-level material data.
  When accessing material master data in a plant context where the material is not extended.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check if the material is extended to the plant:
  
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) and check if the material has plant data.
  If not extended, extend the material to the required plant.
  
  
  
  Extend material to the plant:
  
  Use transaction MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material) to extend the material to the plant.
  In MM01/MM02, select the relevant plant and maintain the required logistics data (MRP type, procurement type, lot size, etc.).
  Save the data to create the MARC entry.
  
  
  
  Verify MARC table entry:
  
  Use SE16/SE16N to check the MARC table for the material and plant combination.
  Example:  
  Table: MARC  
  Material: <material number>  
  Plant: <plant code>  
  
  Confirm that an entry exists.
  
  
  
  If the material should not be extended:
  
  Review the process or report that triggered the error to ensure it is not incorrectly referencing a plant where the material is not valid.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  MARA: General material data (material master header).
  MARC: Plant-specific material data.
  Extending a material to a plant means creating an entry in MARC for that material and plant.
  This error is a warning (W_) and may not stop processing but indicates missing data that could cause issues downstream.
