  The material number does not exist in the material master.
  The material master record is locked or incomplete.
  Authorization issues preventing access to the material master data.

  Solution:
  To resolve the WR050 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Number:

  Check Material Master Data Completeness:
  
  Ensure that the material master data is maintained for the relevant organizational levels (plant, sales org, etc.).
  Use MM02 to maintain missing data if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check if the material master record is locked by another user or process.
  If locked, wait for the lock to be released or contact the user/process holding the lock.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to read the material master data.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.
