• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_CALC078 - A MARC entry does not exist for article &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSTI_CALC078 - A MARC entry does not exist for article &1
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or process material master data for a specific plant (MARC table), but no entry exists for the material in the MARC table for that plant.
  
  MARC is the SAP table that contains plant-specific data for materials.
  The error indicates that the material number (article) &1 does not have a corresponding entry in the MARC table for the plant in question.
  This typically happens during processes like MRP, production order creation, sales order processing, or any transaction that requires plant-specific material data.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Material Master Incomplete: The material master record exists but has not been extended to the required plant.
  Wrong Plant: The transaction or process is referencing a plant for which the material is not maintained.
  Data Migration Issues: During data upload or migration, the MARC entries were not created.
  Custom Code or Interface Issues: Custom programs or interfaces might be calling material data for a plant where the material is not extended.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Use transaction MM03 to display the material master.
  Check if the material is extended to the plant in question.
  If not, extend the material to the plant using MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material) and add the plant-specific data.
  
  
  
  Verify Plant:
  
  Confirm that the plant used in the transaction or process is correct.
  If the plant is incorrect, correct the plant in the transaction or master data.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify materials missing MARC entries.
  Use standard SAP reports or custom queries to find materials without plant data.
  
  
  
  Check Interfaces / Custom Code:
  
  If the error occurs during an interface or custom program, verify that the correct plant and material combinations are being passed.
  Adjust the code or interface mapping accordingly.
