  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
