  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC036 No long text exists for material &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to retrieve or display the long text (detailed description) for a material, but no long text has been maintained or created for that material in the system.
  
  The material master or related document expects a long text entry.
  The long text might be missing in the relevant text object or text ID.
  This is common in processes involving production orders, sales orders, or any document where material long text is referenced.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Long Text for the Material:
  
  Go to the material master record.
  Use transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Navigate to the Basic Data or Additional Data tab where long text is maintained.
  Alternatively, use transaction SO10 or ME23N (depending on context) to maintain long texts.
  Enter the required long text for the material.
  
  
  
  Check Text Object and Text ID:
  
  Verify which text object and text ID the system is trying to access.
  Use transaction SE75 to check text objects.
  Ensure the long text is maintained under the correct text object and text ID.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing or Program Logic:
  
  If this error appears during a custom report or user exit, check the code to ensure it handles missing long texts gracefully.
  Add fallback logic or default texts if long text is not mandatory.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After maintaining the long text, re-execute the transaction or process that triggered the error.
