  SAP Error Message:
  
  WH070 - Material data could not be read for material &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the Warehouse Management (WM) system tries to access material master data for a specific material, but the data cannot be found or read. Possible reasons include:
  
  The material master record does not exist in the system.
  The material master record exists but is not extended to the relevant plant or storage location.
  Inconsistencies or missing data in the material master related to Warehouse Management views.
  Authorization issues preventing the system from reading the material master data.
  Data inconsistencies between Inventory Management (IM) and Warehouse Management (WM).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Existence:
  
  Use transaction MM03 to verify if the material exists.
  Confirm that the material is extended to the correct plant and storage location.
  
  
  
  Extend Material to Plant/Storage Location:
  
  If the material is not extended to the plant/storage location, use MM01 or MM02 to extend it.
  Ensure that the Warehouse Management view is maintained for the material.
  
  
  
  Verify Warehouse Management Data:
  
  Check if the material has the necessary WM data maintained (e.g., storage bin data, stock data).
  Use transaction LX02 or LS24 to check WM stock and material data.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to read material master data.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Checks:
  
  Run consistency checks between IM and WM using transaction LX25 or LX26.
  Correct any inconsistencies found.
  
  
  
  Transport or System Issues:
  
  If the error appeared after a transport or system upgrade, verify that all relevant customizing and master data were transported correctly.
