  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRMA_CAT005 – RMA object &1 does not exist in selection of sites
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Return Material Authorization (RMA) processes when the system cannot find the specified RMA object (such as a return order, return delivery, or related document) within the site(s) selected or assigned in the current context.
  In other words, the RMA object number you are trying to process or reference does not belong to the site(s) that are currently selected or allowed in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The RMA object was created for a different site than the one currently selected.
  The site selection or filter in the transaction does not include the site of the RMA object.
  There is a mismatch or incorrect configuration of site assignments in the RMA customizing.
  The user’s selection or authorization restricts access to certain sites.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  When trying to display or process an RMA document in a transaction where the site filter excludes the site of the RMA object.
  When running reports or batch jobs with site restrictions.
  When the RMA object was created in one plant or site, but the user is working in another.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Site Selection:
  
  Verify the site(s) selected in the transaction or report.
  Make sure the site of the RMA object is included in the selection.
  Adjust the site filter or selection criteria to include the correct site.
  
  
  
  Verify RMA Object Site:
  
  Check the site/plant assigned to the RMA object.
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/RMA or relevant RMA transactions to display the object and confirm its site.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has authorization to access the site where the RMA object exists.
  Check authorization objects related to site or plant access.
  
  
  
  Customizing / Configuration:
  
  Review RMA customizing to ensure site assignments and site-specific settings are correct.
  Check if the site is correctly maintained in the RMA configuration (e.g., in the warehouse or plant assignment).
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  If the RMA object was recently created or changed, ensure data consistency and that no data corruption or incomplete data exists.
