• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRPLCHK012 - Combination customer & and article & does not exist in MARC ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRPLCHK012: Combination customer & and article & does not exist in MARC
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a transaction involving a specific customer and material (article) combination, but this combination is not found in the MARC table.
  
  MARC is the SAP table that contains plant-specific data for materials.
  The error typically arises in scenarios where the system expects a valid link between a customer and a material at the plant level, such as in sales order processing, delivery, or pricing procedures that involve customer-material info records or customer-material-specific data.
  It may also occur if a customer-material info record or a customer-material master record is missing or incorrectly maintained.
  Sometimes, the error is triggered during availability checks, pricing, or delivery processing when the system validates the customer-material combination.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the MARC table for the material and plant:
  
  Verify that the material exists in the plant (MARC table).
  Use transaction SE16/SE16N or SE11 to check the MARC table entries for the material and plant.
  
  
  
  Verify Customer-Material Info Record:
  
  Check if a customer-material info record exists for the customer and material combination.
  Use transaction VD51/VD52/VD53 (Create/Change/Display Customer-Material Info Record).
  If missing, create the customer-material info record for the customer and material.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the material master is extended to the relevant plant.
  Ensure that the customer master data is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If the error occurs during pricing or delivery, check if the system is configured to require customer-material info records.
  Sometimes, the system is set to check for customer-material combinations strictly; this can be adjusted if business processes allow.
  
  
  
  Review User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If custom code or user exits are involved in the process, verify that they handle customer-material combinations correctly.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update Material Master:
  
  If the material is not extended to the plant, extend it using transaction MM01 or MM02.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MARC Table: Plant Data for Material.
  Customer-Material Info Record: Links customer and material for specific data like pricing, delivery tolerances, etc.
  Transactions:
  
  SE16N / SE11: To view tables.
  VD51 / VD52 / VD53: Customer-Material Info Records.
  MM01 / MM02: Material Master.
  
  
  Notes:
  
  This error is common in industries where customer-specific materials or configurations are used.
  Proper master data maintenance is critical to avoid this error.
  Check if any recent changes in master data or configuration might have caused the issue.
