  Error Message
  WRF_APC839: No materials exist for the current selection
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system cannot find any materials that match the selection criteria entered in a transaction or report related to Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Supply Chain Planning (SCP) components. Essentially, the selection parameters (such as product, location, planning version, or other filters) do not correspond to any existing material master data or planning objects in the system.
  Common causes include:
  
  The material master data is not maintained or not replicated to the planning system.
  Incorrect or overly restrictive selection criteria (e.g., wrong product, location, or planning version).
  The planning version or planning area does not contain the materials.
  The material is not relevant for the planning scenario or is excluded by filters.
  Data inconsistencies or missing integration between SAP ERP and APO.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the material exists in the system.
  Ensure the material is relevant for the planning scenario.
  Confirm that the material master data is correctly maintained and active.
  
  
  
  Verify Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection parameters used in the transaction or report.
  Broaden the selection criteria to include more materials.
  Check if the correct planning version, location, and product are selected.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Version and Planning Area:
  
  Ensure the planning version used contains the materials.
  Confirm that the planning area is correctly set up and includes the materials.
  
  
  
  Data Replication and Integration:
  
  If using SAP APO, verify that the material master data is properly replicated from SAP ERP to APO via CIF (Core Interface).
  Check for any errors in CIF replication.
  Run relevant CIF reports or transactions (e.g., /SAPAPO/CIF_REPLSTAT) to check replication status.
  
  
  
  Review Filters and User Exits:
  
  Check if any filters or user exits are restricting the materials.
  Disable or adjust filters if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Traces:
  
  Look into system logs or traces for more detailed error information.
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 or /SAPAPO/SDP6 for planning-related checks.
