• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WMGW_SD_MATRIX002 - Generic material will not be processed in this function ?

  The SAP error message WMGW_SD_MATRIX002 indicates that a generic material is being processed in a function that does not support it. This typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or warehouse management (WM) when the system encounters a generic material (a material without a specific batch or serial number) that cannot be handled in the current operation.
  Cause:
  
  Generic Material: The material in question is defined as a generic material in the system, which means it does not have a specific batch or serial number associated with it.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the processing of generic materials in certain transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Specific Material: If possible, use a specific material (with a batch or serial number) instead of a generic material for the transaction you are attempting.
  Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the generic material to ensure it is set up correctly. If it should be a specific material, consider creating a specific version of the material.
  Transaction Type: Ensure that the transaction type you are using is appropriate for the material type. Some transactions may not support generic materials.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to material types and the specific functions you are trying to use. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for the processing of generic materials in certain scenarios.
