MM material purchasing

Material is not maintained for purchasing

Purchasing cannot create or complete a PO/requisition because required purchasing data for the material is missing.

Likely root causes

  1. The material was never extended with the purchasing view for the relevant organizational context.
  2. Required purchasing fields are incomplete.
  3. The wrong plant/material is being used.

What to inspect

  1. MM03 — purchasing and plant-specific views.
  2. Material, plant and purchasing organization in the document.
  3. Required purchasing-group/order-unit/source data.

Resolution path

  1. Confirm the material and plant are correct.
  2. Extend/complete the material master through approved master-data processes.
  3. Populate required purchasing fields consistently with the business process.
  4. Retry procurement after the master data is complete.
