• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06705 - Several sources MRP-relevant on one date ?

  The SAP error message "06705 Several sources MRP-relevant on one date" typically occurs in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) when the system identifies multiple sources of supply (such as purchase orders, production orders, or stock transfers) that are relevant for the same material on the same date. This can lead to confusion in the planning process, as the system cannot determine which source to prioritize.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Supply Sources: There are multiple supply sources (e.g., different purchase orders or production orders) for the same material that are scheduled to be available on the same date.
  Overlapping Dates: The delivery dates of these sources overlap, causing the MRP run to be unable to decide which one to consider for planning.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the MRP that are not aligned with the business processes, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Supply Sources: Check the supply sources for the material in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to see all the relevant documents and their dates.
  Adjust Delivery Dates: If possible, adjust the delivery dates of the purchase orders or production orders to eliminate the overlap.
  Consolidate Orders: If there are multiple orders for the same material, consider consolidating them into a single order if it makes sense from a business perspective.
  Check MRP Settings: Review the MRP settings in the configuration to ensure they are set up correctly. This includes checking the planning parameters and the lot sizing procedures.
  Use MRP Type: Ensure that the correct MRP type is assigned to the material. Different MRP types can handle supply sources differently.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error in your version of SAP.
