  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXPB007 - Material group &1 does not exist ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXPB007: Material group &1 does not exist:


    Error Message

    WXPB007: Material group &1 does not exist


    Cause

    This error occurs when a material group (also known as material group code or material group key) specified in a transaction or master data does not exist in the SAP system. The system tries to reference a material group that has not been created or maintained in the material group master data.

    Material groups are used to classify materials for reporting, pricing, and other business processes. If the material group code entered is invalid or missing in the system, SAP throws this error.


    Where It Can Occur

    • When creating or changing material master records (MM01/MM02).
    • During material valuation or pricing procedures.
    • In sales documents or purchasing documents where material group is referenced.
    • In custom programs or interfaces that reference material groups.

    Solution

    1. Check the Material Group Code:

      • Verify the material group code entered is correct and does not contain typos.
      • Confirm that the material group code exists in the system.
    2. Maintain the Material Group:

      • Use transaction OMS2 to maintain material groups.
      • If the material group does not exist, create it here.
      • Path: Logistics ? Materials Management ? Material Master ? Basic Settings ? Material Groups ? Define Material Groups (Transaction OMS2).
    3. Check Customizing:

      • Ensure that the material group is properly configured in the system.
      • If the error occurs in a custom program or interface, check the mapping or data source for correct material group codes.
    4. Data Consistency:

      • If the error occurs during data migration or interface processing, verify the source data for valid material group codes.
      • Correct or map invalid material group codes before posting.

    Additional Information

    • Material groups are typically 2-9 characters long depending on system configuration.
    • Material groups help in grouping materials for reporting, pricing, and inventory management.
    • If you are unsure about which material groups are valid, you can list existing groups in OMS2 or by running a report on table T023 (Material Groups table).

    Summary

    Aspect Details
