• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV831 - No logistics data for mat. &1/ (ref.) plant &2, therefore next level used ?

  The SAP error message WV831 indicates that there is no logistics data available for a specific material in the referenced plant. This typically occurs in the context of logistics processes, such as when trying to create a sales order, production order, or during material requirements planning (MRP).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Master Data: The material may not have been set up correctly in the specified plant. This includes missing material master data, such as basic data, purchasing data, or sales data.
  Plant-Specific Data: The material may exist in the system but lacks plant-specific data. For example, the material might not be assigned to the plant in question, or the relevant views (like MRP, sales, or purchasing) may not be maintained.
  Data Deletion: The logistics data for the material in the specified plant may have been deleted or not yet created.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the system from accessing the required data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material) and check if the material exists for the specified plant.
  Ensure that all necessary views (Basic Data, Sales, Purchasing, MRP, etc.) are maintained for the material in the specified plant.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Data:
  
  If the material does not exist for the plant, you can create it using transaction MM01 (Create Material).
  If the material exists but lacks specific data, you can update it using transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  
  
  
  Check Plant Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct plant. This can be checked in the material master data.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you suspect configuration issues, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the system is set up correctly to handle logistics data.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Levels:
  
  If the system is designed to use the next level of data (e.g., a different plant or a different material), ensure that the fallback logic is correctly configured and that the alternative data is available.
