  Error Message
  WXP453: Material &1 does not exist
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the material number that the system could not find.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or process a material master record that does not exist in the SAP database. Common scenarios include:
  
  The material number entered or referenced does not exist in the material master (table MARA).
  The material number might have been deleted or never created.
  Typographical error or incorrect material number input.
  The material master data is not maintained in the relevant plant or organizational level.
  The material number is referenced in a transaction or program where it is expected to be valid but is missing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Verify the Material Number:
  
  Check the material number entered for correctness.
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) to verify if the material exists.
  
  
  
  Create the Material Master Record:
  
  If the material does not exist, create it using MM01 (Create Material).
  Ensure all mandatory views and organizational levels (plant, sales org, etc.) are maintained.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion Flag:
  
  Sometimes materials are flagged for deletion but still referenced.
  Use MM03 to check if the material is marked for deletion.
  If so, either remove the deletion flag or use a valid material.
  
  
  
  Check the Program or Transaction:
  
  If the error occurs during a custom program or report, verify that the material number passed is valid.
  Debug or check the logic to ensure correct material numbers are used.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks or use standard SAP reports to verify material master data integrity.
