• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PPW851 - No entry for material &1 in material master or purchasing info record ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_PPW851 No entry for material &1 in material master or purchasing info record
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system cannot find the required data for the specified material in either:
  
  The Material Master (specifically, the purchasing view), or  
  The Purchasing Info Record for the combination of the material and the vendor.
  
  In other words, when you try to create or process a purchasing document (like a Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order), SAP checks if the material exists in the material master and if there is a valid purchasing info record for the vendor and material combination. If neither exists, the system throws this error.
  
  Common Scenarios Leading to This Error:
  
  The material does not exist in the material master at all.  
  The material exists but the Purchasing View is not maintained or incomplete.  
  No purchasing info record exists for the material and vendor combination.  
  The material is not extended to the plant or purchasing organization relevant to the transaction.  
  Incorrect or missing vendor data in the purchasing info record.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Use transaction MM03 to display the material master.  
  Verify that the material exists.  
  Check if the Purchasing View is maintained for the relevant plant and purchasing organization.  
  If missing, maintain the purchasing data using MM02 (Change Material Master).
  
  
  
  Check Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Use transaction ME13 to display the purchasing info record for the material and vendor.  
  If it does not exist, create it using ME11.  
  Ensure the info record is valid for the purchasing organization and vendor.
  
  
  
  Extend Material to Plant:
  
  If the material is not extended to the plant relevant for the purchasing document, extend it using MM01 or MM02.
  
  
  
  Vendor Master Data:
  
  Ensure the vendor is valid and active in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Document Data:
  
  Verify that the purchasing organization, plant, and vendor data entered in the purchasing document are correct.
