The SAP error message
/CWM/MD039 Material &1: missing entry in &2 for entry in &3
typically indicates that there is a missing or incorrect entry in a specific table related to the material master data. This error is often encountered in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or when dealing with material master data in the SAP system.Cause:
- Missing Master Data: The error usually arises when the system is trying to access a specific piece of master data (like a material, plant, or storage location) that does not exist in the relevant table.
- Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the material is not properly set up in the system for the specified plant or storage location.
- Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, some entries may not have been transferred correctly, leading to missing data.
- Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in the MRP views or other relevant views of the material master.
Solution:
- Check Material Master Data: Verify that the material in question exists in the material master (transaction code MM03). Ensure that all necessary views (like MRP, Purchasing, Sales, etc.) are maintained for the material.
- Check Plant and Storage Location: Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct plant and storage location. You can check this in the material master data.
- Maintain Missing Entries: If the error indicates a missing entry in a specific table (e.g., MRP table), you may need to create or update the relevant entries. This can often be done through transaction codes like MM01 (Create Material) or MM02 (Change Material).
- Run MRP: If the issue is related to MRP, you may need to run the MRP process again after correcting the data.
- Data Consistency Check: Use transaction code SE11 to check the relevant database tables for consistency and ensure that all necessary entries are present.
- Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidance or patches that may be applicable.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
