  Cause
  This error typically occurs during the processing of PRICAT (Price Catalog) IDocs in SAP, especially in the context of Vendor Catalogs or Material Master Data updates via EDI/IDoc interfaces.
  
  The system expects to find a material record in the PRICAT data (usually in the IDoc segments) that matches the material master or the catalog data.
  The error indicates that the system could not find any material data in the PRICAT IDoc or the material referenced in the PRICAT does not exist in the system.
  Possible reasons:
  
  The PRICAT IDoc sent by the vendor does not contain material information.
  The material number in the PRICAT does not exist or is not maintained in the SAP system.

  Check Vendor and Purchasing Info Records:
