• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC364 - Maintain view &2 for reference material &1 in material master ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC364: Maintain view &2 for reference material &1 in material master
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when you are trying to create or change a material that references another material (called the reference material), but the system detects that a required material master view (specified by &2) has not been maintained for the reference material (&1).
  In other words, the system expects that the reference material should have certain views maintained before you can proceed with the current material. This is common in scenarios involving variant configuration, reference materials, or material derivations where the system needs consistent data across related materials.
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  You are creating or changing a material that uses a reference material.
  The reference material is missing one or more required views (e.g., Basic Data, Sales, MRP, Work Scheduling, etc.).
  The system throws this error to ensure data consistency and completeness.
  
  
  Cause:
  
  The reference material (&1) does not have the required material master view (&2) maintained.
  This missing view is necessary for the system to correctly process the current material.
  It can happen if the reference material was incompletely created or if certain views were deleted or not maintained.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the reference material and the missing view:
  
  &1 = Reference material number
  &2 = Missing material master view (e.g., Basic Data 1, MRP 1, Sales, etc.)
  
  
  
  Maintain the missing view for the reference material:
  
  Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Enter the reference material number (&1).
  Select the missing view (&2) as indicated in the error message.
  Maintain the required data in that view.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Retry the original operation:
  
  After maintaining the missing view, try to create or change your material again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is often encountered in variant configuration or reference material scenarios where the system expects the reference material to be fully maintained.
  The missing view could be any standard material master view such as Basic Data, Sales, Purchasing, MRP, Work Scheduling, Accounting, etc.
  Ensuring that the reference material is fully maintained helps maintain data integrity and prevents inconsistencies in material master data.
