  Error Message
  WT101 - No reference entries exist for material &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Warehouse Management (WM) when you try to perform a warehouse task or movement for a material, but the system cannot find any reference entries for that material in the Warehouse Management system.
  More specifically:
  
  The material is not yet linked or assigned to a warehouse number or storage type in WM.
  The material master data in WM is incomplete or missing.
  The system expects a reference entry (such as a material master record in WM or a storage bin assignment) but cannot find it.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During goods receipt or goods issue posting with WM active.
  When creating transfer orders or warehouse tasks.
  When trying to move stock in WM for a material that is not yet set up in WM.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Material Master Data in WM:
  
  Go to transaction MM02 or MM03 and verify that the material is extended to the relevant warehouse number.
  Use transaction LX02 or LX03 to check if the material has storage bin assignments in the warehouse.
  
  
  
  Extend Material to Warehouse Number:
  
  Use transaction MM01 or MM02 to extend the material to the warehouse number.
  In the material master, ensure that the WM views (Warehouse Management 1 and 2) are maintained.
  
  
  
  Create Reference Entries:
  
  If the material is not assigned to any storage bins, create the necessary storage bin assignments.
  Use transaction LS01N to create storage bins if needed.
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Number Configuration:
  
  Verify that the warehouse number is correctly configured and active.
  Check if the warehouse number is assigned to the plant and storage location.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update Warehouse Tasks:
  
  If the error occurs during warehouse task creation, try to recreate the warehouse task after the material master is properly extended.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This error is related to the integration between Inventory Management (IM) and Warehouse Management (WM).
  The material must be properly set up in both IM and WM for warehouse processes to work smoothly.
  Sometimes, this error can also occur if the material is flagged as WM relevant but the WM data is incomplete.
