• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL_DDIC011 - Select only one maintenance group ?

  The SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL_DDIC011 indicates that there is an issue with the maintenance group selection in the material master data. This error typically occurs when you attempt to maintain or create a material and the system detects that multiple maintenance groups have been selected, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the selection of more than one maintenance group in the material master data. In SAP, a maintenance group is used to categorize materials for maintenance purposes, and the system requires that only one maintenance group be selected for each material.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that only one maintenance group is selected when you are creating or editing the material master. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Material Master: Go to the transaction code MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material) in SAP.
  
  
  Select the Appropriate Views: When prompted, select the views you want to maintain.
  
  
  Check Maintenance Group: In the relevant view (usually the Basic Data or Sales view), look for the field labeled "Maintenance Group."
  
  
  Select Only One Maintenance Group: Ensure that you select only one maintenance group from the dropdown list. If multiple groups are pre-selected, deselect the unnecessary ones.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Maintenance Groups: Maintenance groups are used to classify materials for various purposes, including reporting and maintenance planning. Each group can have specific settings and characteristics.
  Material Master Data: The material master is a central repository of information about materials in SAP. It contains data related to purchasing, inventory management, sales, and more.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01, MM02, MM03 (Display Material), and MM04 (Change Material) for managing material master data.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP administrator or support team for further assistance.
