• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PCM136 - Catalog &, EAN &; processing of generic matls not poss.; pur.org. missing ?

  The SAP error message WRF_PCM136 indicates that there is an issue with processing generic materials in the context of a catalog, specifically related to the absence of a purchasing organization (pur.org). This error typically arises in the SAP system when trying to manage or process materials that are defined as generic but lack the necessary purchasing organization data.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Purchasing Organization: The primary cause of this error is that the purchasing organization is not defined for the generic material in the system. Generic materials are often used in scenarios where specific material details are not yet available, but they still require a purchasing organization to be processed correctly.
  
  
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data for the generic material may not be fully maintained, leading to missing information that is required for processing.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material management or purchasing modules that prevent the system from recognizing the generic material correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the generic material in question.
  Ensure that the purchasing organization is correctly assigned and that all necessary fields are filled out.
  
  
  
  Maintain Purchasing Organization:
  
  If the purchasing organization is missing, you can add it by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., MM01 for creating a material or MM02 for changing a material).
  Ensure that the purchasing organization is assigned to the appropriate views (e.g., purchasing view) of the material master.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to material management and purchasing. Ensure that the settings allow for the processing of generic materials.
  Consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team if you suspect that there are issues with the system setup.
