• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_REF011 - &4 Material &1 in plant &2 is not listed now nor in future ?

  The SAP error message WRF_REF011 indicates that a specific material (identified by &1) in a particular plant (identified by &2) is not listed in the system for the current or future periods. This error typically arises in the context of materials management, particularly when dealing with material master data, sales and distribution, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Material Not Active: The material may not be active or may have been flagged as inactive in the material master data.
  Listing Configuration: The material may not be included in the relevant listing configuration for the plant, which could be due to changes in the listing settings or the material's status.
  Date Validity: The material may have a validity period that does not cover the current date or the date in question.
  Plant-Specific Settings: The material may not be set up for the specific plant in question, or it may have been removed from the listing for that plant.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Status: Verify the status of the material in the material master (transaction code MM03). Ensure that it is active and not marked for deletion.
  Review Listing Configuration: Check the material listing configuration (transaction code WSL1 or WSL2) to ensure that the material is included in the listing for the relevant plant and sales organization.

  Plant-Specific Data: Confirm that the material is correctly set up for the specific plant. You can do this by checking the plant-specific data in the material master.
