• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL002 - Material & is not a Retail material ?

  The SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL002 indicates that the material you are trying to work with is not classified as a Retail material in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Retail (IS-Retail) when you attempt to perform operations that are specific to retail materials, such as pricing, inventory management, or sales processes.
  Cause:
  
  Material Type: The material in question may not be defined with a retail-specific material type. In SAP, materials are categorized by types, and only certain types are designated for retail use.
  Master Data Configuration: The material master data may not have been set up correctly for retail. This includes missing or incorrect settings in the retail-specific views.
  Material Status: The material may be inactive or not released for retail use.
  Incorrect Transaction: You may be using a transaction that is intended for retail materials only, while the material in question is not classified as such.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Type: Verify the material type of the material in question. It should be a retail material type (e.g., ROH, FERT, etc., depending on your configuration).
  
  You can check this in the material master record (transaction MM03).
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data: Ensure that the material has been set up correctly in the retail views. You may need to maintain the retail-specific views (like Sales Organization Data, Retail Data, etc.) using transaction MM01 or MM02.
  
  
  Activate Material: If the material is inactive, you may need to activate it or change its status to allow it to be used in retail processes.
  
  
  Use Correct Transactions: Ensure that you are using the appropriate transactions for retail materials. If you are trying to perform a retail-specific operation, make sure the material is indeed a retail material.
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you are unsure about the material type or the configuration, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP Retail.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Views: Familiarize yourself with the different views in the material master that are relevant to retail, such as Basic Data, Sales, Purchasing, and Retail Data.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on material types and retail configuration.

  MM01 - Create Material
  MM02 - Change Material
  MM03 - Display Material
