WSAM_SHMAE014
- Enter at least one material search criterion ?SAP Error Message: WSAM_SHMAE014 – Enter at least one material search criterion
Cause: This error occurs when you attempt to perform a material search in SAP (for example, in the SAP Easy Access screen or a specific transaction like MM03, MM01, or a custom search help) without entering any search criteria. The system requires at least one input field to filter the materials; otherwise, it cannot execute the search because it would potentially return an unmanageably large dataset. Explanation: The message is triggered by the material search help (SHMAE = Search Help Material). The system expects the user to specify at least one field (e.g., material number, material description, material group, plant, etc.) to narrow down the search. This prevents performance issues and helps users find relevant materials quickly.
Solution: When the error message appears, enter at least one search criterion in the material search screen. Common fields to enter include: Material Number (full or partial) Material Description (partial text) Material Group Plant Material Type After
