• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP142 - Season details are invalid for material & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WP142 - Season details are invalid for material &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system detects that the season details assigned to a material are inconsistent, incomplete, or invalid according to the configuration or master data settings. Typically, this happens in industries like fashion or retail where materials are linked to specific seasons (e.g., Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), and the season data is either missing, incorrectly maintained, or does not match the expected values.
  Common causes include:
  
  The material master does not have valid season data maintained.
  The season assigned to the material is not defined or active in the system.
  The season data is inconsistent between different views or organizational levels.
  Incorrect or missing season assignment in the sales order, production order, or planning documents referencing the material.
  Custom validations or user-exits/enhancements enforcing season checks fail due to invalid data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Season Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Navigate to the relevant view where season data is maintained (often in the Basic Data or Sales views, or a custom tab depending on implementation).
  Verify that the season field is correctly filled and corresponds to a valid season code.
  
  
  
  Verify Season Master Data:
  
  Check the season codes in the system (often maintained in customizing under Logistics - General > Season or a similar path).
  Ensure the season assigned to the material is active and valid.
  
  
  
  Review Related Documents:
  
  If the error occurs during sales order creation or production order processing, check the season data in those documents.
  Correct or update the season assignment to match the material master.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Validations:
  
  If your system has custom validations or user-exits related to season data, review the logic to ensure it correctly handles the material and season combination.
  Debug or consult with your ABAP developer if necessary.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Correct Season Data:
  
  If the season data is missing or incorrect, update it via MM02 (Change Material) or the relevant transaction.
  If the season is obsolete or invalid, assign a valid season or remove the invalid entry.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WP142 for any known issues or patches.
