    SAP Error Message: WG475

    Message Text:
    Error concerns procurement material &1 of sales material &2.


    Cause

    This error occurs during the sales order or delivery processing when there is an inconsistency or problem related to the procurement material assigned to a sales material. In SAP, a sales material (finished product or sales item) can be linked to a procurement material (usually a raw material or semi-finished product) for procurement or production purposes.

    The error indicates that the system has detected an issue with the procurement material (&1) that is assigned to the sales material (&2). Common causes include:

    • The procurement material is not properly maintained or is missing in the material master.
    • The procurement material is flagged for deletion or is blocked.
    • The procurement material is not assigned correctly in the sales material's configuration (e.g., in the sales view or in the BOM).
    • Inconsistencies in the material master data between sales and procurement views.
    • Missing or incorrect configuration in the material determination or substitution settings.
    • Issues in the integration between sales and procurement modules, such as missing or incorrect MRP type, procurement type, or plant assignment for the procurement material.

    Solution

    To resolve the WG475 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Verify that the procurement material (&1) exists and is active.
      • Check if the procurement material is flagged for deletion or blocked.
      • Ensure that the procurement material has the correct MRP type and procurement type.
      • Confirm that the procurement material is assigned to the correct plant.
    2. Verify Sales Material Configuration:

      • Check the sales material (&2) master data, especially the sales views.
      • Confirm that the procurement material is correctly assigned or linked to the sales material.
      • Review the BOM (Bill of Materials) or material determination settings if applicable.
    3. Check Material Determination/Substitution:

      • If material determination or substitution is used, verify that the rules are correctly maintained.
      • Ensure that the procurement material is valid and active in the substitution rules.
    4. Review Procurement Settings:

      • Check the procurement type (e.g., in-house production, external procurement) for the procurement material.
      • Verify that the procurement material is correctly planned in MRP.
    5. Run Consistency Checks:

      • Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), or CS03 (Display BOM) to inspect material data.
      • Use MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to check procurement and stock situation.
    6. Correct the Data or Configuration:

      • Update or correct the material master data as needed.
      • Adjust the sales material's procurement assignment.
      • Remove any deletion flags or blocks on the procurement material.
      • Adjust substitution or determination rules.
    7. Test the Process Again:

      • After corrections, retry the sales order or delivery processing to confirm the error is resolved.
