• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_CONS312 - No master data record exists for material &1 (MARA) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CONS312 No master data record exists for material &1 (MARA)
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error indicates that the system is trying to access or process a material master record for a material number (represented by &1) that does not exist in the MARA table (the general material master table in SAP).
  In other words, the material number you are referencing in a transaction or program is not found in the material master data.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The material number has not been created or maintained in the system.
  Typographical error in the material number entered.
  The material master record was deleted or archived.
  The material number is from a different client or system and not replicated.
  The program or process is referencing an incorrect or outdated material number.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) to verify if the material number exists.
  If it does not exist, create the material master record using MM01 (Create Material).
  
  
  
  Verify Material Number:
  
  Confirm that the material number entered is correct and complete.
  Check for leading zeros or formatting issues.
  
  
  
  Check Client and System:
  
  Ensure you are working in the correct client where the material master exists.
  If the material is from another system, check if it needs to be replicated or created locally.
  
  
  
  Check Program or Process:
  
  If this error occurs during a custom program or report, debug or review the code to ensure the material number passed is valid.
  Check if the material number is dynamically generated or fetched from an incorrect source.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks or use transaction MMBE (Stock Overview) to see if stock exists for the material.
  If stock exists but material master is missing, this indicates data inconsistency that needs correction.
