• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU200 - Product catalog wrong. Only mats. with mat. type "DIEN" or "WERB" possble ?

  The SAP error message WU200 indicates that there is an issue with the product catalog configuration, specifically that only materials with the material types "DIEN" (Services) or "WERB" (Trading Goods) are allowed in the context you are working with. This error typically arises when you attempt to include materials of a different type in a product catalog or when the system is expecting a specific type of material.
  Cause:
  
  Material Type Restriction: The system is configured to only allow certain material types in the product catalog. If you are trying to add materials of a different type (e.g., raw materials, finished goods), the system will throw this error.
  Catalog Configuration: The product catalog may have been set up to only accept specific material types, which can be a part of the business rules or configuration settings in SAP.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the material type assigned to the materials you are trying to include in the catalog.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Types: Verify the material types of the items you are trying to add to the product catalog. Ensure that they are either "DIEN" or "WERB".
  Change Material Type: If the materials you are trying to include are of a different type, consider changing their material type to one of the allowed types if it makes sense for your business process.
  Review Catalog Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the product catalog settings to see if the allowed material types can be modified to include additional types as needed.
  Consult with SAP Administrator: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change configurations, consult with your SAP administrator or the team responsible for SAP configuration to discuss the requirements and possible adjustments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) to check or change material types, or SPRO to access configuration settings.
