• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR122 - Enter either a material or material group ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR122 - Enter either a material or material group
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a transaction or report requires the user to specify either a Material Number or a Material Group, but neither has been entered. The system expects at least one of these fields to be filled to proceed with the processing or selection.
  
  Explanation:
  In many SAP transactions related to materials management (such as inventory reports, material master data transactions, or purchasing reports), the system needs a reference to either a specific material or a group of materials to filter or process data. If both fields are left blank, the system cannot determine the scope of the operation and throws this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter a Material Number: Provide a valid material number in the material field.
  Or Enter a Material Group: Provide a valid material group code in the material group field.
  Do not leave both fields empty.
  
  If you are unsure which to enter:
  
  Use Material Number if you want to work with a specific material.
  Use Material Group if you want to work with a category or group of materials.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning/error to ensure data consistency and meaningful processing.
  The message is often encountered in transactions like:
  
  MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand)
  ME2L, ME2M (Purchase Orders by Vendor/Material)
  Material master data selection screens
  
  
  If you frequently need to process all materials, check if the transaction allows a wildcard or a special entry (like *) for material or material group.
  Consult your SAP functional consultant if you believe the system should allow processing without these fields filled, as it might require configuration changes.
