  The SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL_DDIC002 typically indicates that there is an issue with a field group that is expected to exist in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) but does not. This error is often encountered in the context of material master data processing, particularly when working with the Material Management (MM) module or related functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Field Group: The field group specified in the error message does not exist in the Data Dictionary. This could be due to a configuration issue or a missing transport.
  Custom Development: If there has been custom development or modifications made to the material master or related structures, it is possible that the field group was not properly defined or was deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the system is newly upgraded or if transports were not imported correctly, it could lead to missing field groups.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the material master may reference a field group that is not defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Group Definition: 
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the field group exists. You can search for the field group name to see if it is defined.
