• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WRMA_FI - Messages for RMA

• Message number: 013

• Message text: Material &2 already exists for plant &1

What causes this issue?

You tried to change the profit center for plant &V1&. A material with
plant-specific data is already defined in this plant.

System Response

The system issues a warning message because existing documents may not
be adjusted as a result of your change.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the profit center is recorded in the plant-specific data
of the material master and whether the documents are posted in inventory
management based on this value. When you change the profit center, the
system does not change the profit center in the plant master in
documents. Therefore, if you change the profit center, make sure you
subsequently change the profit center to the same value in all materials
for the plant.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

WRMA_FI013 - Details

• The SAP error message:
  WRMA_FI013: Material &2 already exists for plant &1
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or assign a material to a plant, but the material number you are trying to use already exists for that particular plant in the system. In other words, the system detects a duplicate material record for the same plant.
  This typically happens during:
  
  Material master creation (MM01) or extension (MM02) to a plant.
  Upload or data migration where material-plant combinations are being created.
  When trying to create a new material with a material number that is already assigned to the same plant.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, a material can be extended to multiple plants, but the combination of material number and plant must be unique.
  The system prevents duplicate entries to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check if the material already exists for the plant:
  
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) and enter the material number.
  Check if the material is already extended to the plant
