• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01028 - Material &1 ignored as material category &2 is not supported ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W_DSD_01028 Material &1 ignored as material category &2 is not supported
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs during processes related to Direct Store Delivery (DSD) or similar logistics scenarios where materials are processed based on their material category.
  
  Material &1 refers to the material number.
  Material category &2 refers to the material's category (e.g., finished product, raw material, packaging material, etc.).
  
  The system is indicating that the material with number &1 has been ignored because its material category &2 is not supported in the current process or scenario.
  Why does this happen?
  
  Certain processes or functions in SAP (especially in DSD or sales distribution) only support specific material categories. For example, only finished products (category FERT) or trading goods (HAWA) might be allowed, while raw materials (ROH) or non-stock materials (NLAG) are excluded.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The material category assigned to the material is not included in the allowed categories for the process.
  Configuration settings restrict processing to certain material categories.
  The material master data might be incorrectly maintained or assigned an inappropriate category for the scenario.
  The process or transaction is designed to exclude certain categories to avoid errors or irrelevant processing.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Material Category:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction MM03).
  Verify the material category assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Review Process Requirements:
  
  Understand which material categories are supported in the current process (e.g., DSD delivery, sales order, etc.).
  This information can be found in the process documentation or configuration guides.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Category if Appropriate:
  
  If the material category is incorrect for the intended use, change it to a supported category (transaction MM02).
  Be cautious: changing material category can have wide implications and may require coordination with master data management.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the material category is correct but the process should support it, check the customizing settings.
  For example, in DSD customizing (SPRO path: Logistics Execution ? Direct Store Delivery), verify the allowed material categories.
  Add the required material category to the allowed list if business-wise it makes sense.
  
  
  
  Exclude Material if Intended:
  
  If the material is not supposed to be processed in this scenario, no action is needed; the warning is informational.
