MM305: Material does not exist

Hello Experts,
Although this BW related but i thought this might be the appropriate forum:
I am trying to load data in BW for Purchasing. However, the data loads are failing with the following error message:
You wanted to display or process data on the material 100046399 .
However, the material does not yet exist; that is, it has not yet been
created, or its creation has been scheduled, but the material has not
yet been activated.
I investigated further a found out a Stock transport order in the R/3 system which had a line item for the material 100046399 but the material doesn't actually exists in the MARA (Material master table).
Furthermore, this stock transport order was put on hold but even a hold creates an entry in the Purchasing tables which is why the data gets extracted to BW
So, the question is how can a PO be created with a non-existent material?
Has anyone seen a similar situation? what could be a possible fix for this?
Thanks and Regards,
Rishi

I curerntly have a similar case with a PO having a material that did not exist.
in my system this was caused by incorrect migration process from R2 to R3 11 years back.
The POs were transferred 1:1, but material were only transferred if it did not have a deletion indicator.
(this migration was done by SAP, I dont know what programs they used for this)
I have the situation that I cannot archive the PO because of open GR/IR postings. but I cannot clear GR/IR account with MR11 because I get message that material does not exist.

Material does not exist in the warehouse number

Hi
I am new to WM. I am in the process of learning. While learning i encountered an error indicating that the material does not exist in the warehouse number. i hava configured the required organisational structure configuration for WM,
Is anything i have to configure for material or material type it belongs to the warehouse number and if it is yes where can i configure the same.?
Regards
Siva

What is the exact error message and code and in which transaction is it occuring?
The material has to be maintained at the following views:
- Basic Data
- Sales: General/Plant
- Purchasing
- General Plant/Data Storage
- Warehouse Management
- Accounting
Make sure the material exists at each and every Storage Type you use.
You might also need to check the following settings:
IMG > Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Interfaces > Inventory Management > Define Storage Location Control
And delete any un-necessary Warhouse to Plant assignments in
IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Logistics Execution > Assign warehouse number to plant/storage location

Bapi_Goodsmvt_Create: Material does not exist or is not activated....

Hi all,
I'm using .Net connector to execute BAPI from my program and I'm able to login but always get the same message when I try to execute the material transfer: <b>Material xxx does not exist or is not activated</b>.
I'm not sure it has anything to do with the permission of my account because this is the first time our SAP admin create a "Communication" type user and we really don't know what kind of permission is good enough for BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. Plus the error message does not show any thing about permission.... And same message returned if I use the dialog user.
If I use transaction MB1B to do the transfer (with the same material) then things are ok.
Any ideas are appreciated,
Eric

The only thing I can think of is that when calling from .net, you are passing the material number without its internal format. The material number field in R/3 is an 18 character field. If the material number is numeric, the materail number is then padded with zeros on the left. Example, for material 12345, the internal format is 000000000000012345. If the BAPI in question is not fomatting the material internally in the BAPI, then it must be passed this way. CHeck how you are passing, if it is numeric and not zero filled left, then you must write some .net code to do so.

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE Error - The material does not exist or is not activatd

Scenario is to make a Goods Receipt on a material which is being imported from external sources.
There is a purchase order created for this already in SAP.
From MII we are using standard BAPI - BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE and passing the fields below:
GM_Code - 01 since it is a goods receipt
Psting_date - current date
Material - material code given by SAP
Plant - Plant code on which GR takes place.
Move_type - 101 because it is a GR
Entry_Qnt - 1
PO_number - Purchase order which is created in SAP
When I pass these details to the standard BAPI I get a return message - " The material 10xxxxxxxx does not exist or is not activated"
Not sure where I am going wrong.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply Vinod...
Well.. I am calling this BAPI from Netweaver MII and I just see the request and response tags to which I pass the required values to BAPI request fields.
I am not sure how to call this FM which you are refering to, can you please elobrate a bit or is there any guide I am refer to?

Check Material is maintain your plant and storage location with MM03.
Enter MM03 t-code, enter material code and press enter then check material is maintain your plant and storage location.
If no than first maintain it with below mention detail.
Enter MM01 - For Material Master creation.
Enter your material M11, Plant - PLN1, Storage location - S11.
And maintain other required detail.
Then check with migo.

Material does not exist

Hi,
Since last 3 days we r facing issue in our QA server.
Material master is available in all MM tables, even can be seen through MM03, but if we try to use that material in PO or want to cahnge the material itself, system is showing following error :
"Material number 4909-0490000 does not exist on the database
Message no. MGVNUM002"
What could be the reason & solution..
Kindly help..
Regards

Hi,
This issue occurs because there is a inconsistency between table
MARA and MATERIALID. It is due to Long material number feature as
included with DIMP software.
Please see note 524661 that contains a solution to fix
this using program MGVREPMATID.
For more information about DIMP and long material number, please read
the note 735529.

MATERIAL DOES NOT EXISTS OR NOT ACTIVATED

Dear Experts,
I want to change Material Master data. I have downloaded the material list from data base table MARC plant data for materials.
i want to extend the material master view. but system is issuing the error message - Material dose not exists or not activated. Also it is not showing the material in MM03 & MM60.
But in data base table MARC it is showing the material code with details.

Hi Kiran,
The material type must be HAWA, well you would be able to get this info, if an entry in MARA exists. So from where are you getting the material type?
Anyways just check this, enter the material nos. in MM01 & select Basic Data 1 & click create, check what message you get, should provide you the clues. Also check how this material was created. It could be possible that it was created via some custom program.
Creat the view & then you will be able to resolve the issue. Check the above & revert if you face any issues.

Error logs in job releases forecast from DP to SNP-"Matl does not exist"

Hi Everyone,
I am facing error logs in the batch job which releases forecast from DP to SNP
Forecast release job - Weekly - Through background job
Forecast category - FA
Error 1: - Characteristic combination appears on batch job log with an error that
"GMC does not exist " Even though it exist in R/3 and APO
All products with error message "Product does not exist" from do exist and have Forecast in Product View
Error 2: - Deleted KCC keep showing up on the Demand Forecast release job log as errors even though they are invalid KCC and were deleted previously. How do they get removed from error log so they don't get created again
Material does not exist on the APO Product Master, in R3 there is a delete flag and the MRP type is set to X1 ,it does not exist in the APO Product Master and does not exist in R3.
Request you to kindly provide any way forward which may be causing error logs of the job
Thanks in advance,
Mrigendra Sharma

Hi Mrigendra,
Please re-initialize the SNP planning area (program : /SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_INITIALIZE) and then check the consistency by executing the program: /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_CONS_CHECK. If you observe any inconsistency in the log/spool, then re-run the program: /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_CONS_CHECK to observe all green.
It is recommended to run the consistency program after any master data change. The initialization program should be run at least weekly.
Try transfering the data again from DP to SNP to see if the error reappear.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Nawanit

While creating SAP ISU Device category i got one error message like The material 5 does not exist or is not activated Message no. M3305

while creating SAP ISU Device category EG01 .i got one error message like The material 5 does not exist or is not activated Message no. M3305

I don't know EG01 transaction, but if SAP says "material 5 does not exist " then SAP is usually right.
Can you give an evidence that material 5 exists? e.g. screenshot from SE16 at table MARA, MARC and MAST

Materialized view does not exist upon refresh

Hi all,
I got the following stack trace upon executing 'DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('Layout_tab','C')' to refresh an materialized view upon an object table:
ORA-23401: materialized view "MINIMOL"."LAYOUT_TAB" does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT", line 794
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT", line 851
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SNAPSHOT", line 832
The view create statement is following:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW PlateLayout_tab
OF PlateLayout
CACHE
REFRESH ON DEMAND
AS
SELECT
PlateLayout(l.id,VALUE(pos),l.ComputeCheckerboardPosition(VALUE(pos)))
FROM
Layout_tab l
, TABLE(mcu_enumerate.LoopFor(1,l.wells_across * l.wells_down)) pos;
now what is going wrong? I can't even create the view with the 'REFRESH ON COMMIT' option.
Thanks,
Henrik

John,
it is only a typo in the posted message, but the executed SQL-smt of course was:
EXECUTE DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('PlateLayout_tab','C');
After browsing through metalink I even tried this:
EXECUTE DBMS_MVIEW.REFRES('PlateLayout_tab','C','',TRUE,FALSE,0,0,0,TRUE);
with the same stack trace.
By the way the MVIEW is accessible via:
SELECT * FROM PlateLayout_tab
Thanks,
Henrik

Create materialized View fails with "table or view does not exist"

DB: 10.2.0.4
OS: Win 2003
Hi,
Here in my tests, i have 2 databases (A(source) and B(backup)), and i am trying to create an mview in database B to replicate data from one test table from database A, only for test purpose. I'm getting the error "table or view does not exist" when i try to create a mview with REFRESH FAST. Here is my code:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW TESTES.TAB_TESTES_REPLIC_MVIEW_02
REFRESH FAST
START WITH TO_DATE('21/02/2012 18:50:00', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
NEXT SYSDATE + 1/24/60
WITH PRIMARY KEY
AS SELECT REGISTRO1,
REGISTRO2
FROM TESTES.TAB_TESTES_REPLIC_MVIEW_02@DB_LINK_ORA10;
The dblink is workig fine(dblink user has select privilege on TESTES.TAB_TESTES_REPLIC_MVIEW_02), and i have created the mview log on database A.
Where is my mistake.
Thanks a lot.

I found the solution.
I had to grant SELECT on the mview log. The name is avaiable in DBA_MVIEW_LOGS

The material code does not exist or is not activated

Dear All,
I am using SAP ECC6. When I go through MM03 for certain material code, it gives the error: The material code does not exist or is not activated.
But this code exists in MARA. There seems to be no problem in the fields of MARA.
Where the problem can be?
Regds
Amit

do you know when and how the material was created?
Maybe the material is stored with a key that does not anymore fit to the customizing.
In SE16 in menu Settings > user parameter check if you have a flag in field conversion exit., if yes, then remove it and display this material along with other materials that you can access with MM03 in one list.
Check if the material number is different from the others (e.g. with or without leading zeros)
