• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WM080 - Material no. &: Validity of material and module do not match ?

  The SAP error message WM080 ("Material no. &: Validity of material and module do not match") typically occurs in the Warehouse Management (WM) module when there is a mismatch between the material number and the associated module or configuration settings. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, inventory management, or when trying to perform operations related to the material in the warehouse.
  Causes:
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material may not be properly set up in the material master. This includes missing or incorrect data in the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Sales, Purchasing, Warehouse Management).
  Warehouse Management Configuration: The warehouse settings may not be aligned with the material's configuration. For example, the material might not be assigned to the correct storage type or storage location.
  Material Status: The material may have a status that restricts its use in certain operations (e.g., blocked, inactive).
  Module Compatibility: The material may not be compatible with the specific WM module or process being used (e.g., if the material is not set up for WM but is being processed in a WM context).
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the material or if the material has been recently changed, there may be inconsistencies in the data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and verify that all relevant views are correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the material is set up for Warehouse Management if it is being used in a WM context.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Management Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the warehouse (transaction code SPRO) to ensure that the material is assigned to the correct storage type and location.

  Check Material Status:
  
  Review the status of the material to ensure it is not blocked or inactive. You can check this in the material master data.
