• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06773 - Material & maintained neither by MRP nor by purchasing ?

  The SAP error message "06773 - Material & maintained neither by MRP nor by purchasing" typically indicates that the material in question is not set up correctly in the system for either Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or purchasing processes. This can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Material Master Configuration: The material may not have been properly configured in the Material Master. Specifically, the MRP type or purchasing data may not be maintained.
  MRP Type: The MRP type for the material might be set to a value that does not allow for MRP planning (e.g., "ND" - No MRP).
  Purchasing Data: The purchasing view of the material master may not be maintained, meaning there are no purchasing details for the material.
  Material Status: The material might be blocked or inactive, preventing it from being used in MRP or purchasing.
  Plant Data: The material may not have been assigned to a plant, or the plant data may not be maintained correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material) and enter the material number.
  Check the MRP and Purchasing views to ensure that the necessary data is maintained.
  Ensure that the MRP type is appropriate for the material (e.g., "PD" for MRP, "VB" for consumption-based planning).
  
  
  
  Maintain MRP Type:
  
  If the MRP type is not set or is set to "ND", you can change it to a valid MRP type using transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Ensure that the MRP parameters are correctly set up for the material.
  
  
  
  Maintain Purchasing Data:
  
  If the purchasing view is not maintained, you can add the necessary purchasing information using transaction MM02.
  Ensure that the purchasing group, vendor, and other relevant details are filled in.
  
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Verify that the material status is not set to "Blocked" or "Inactive". You can check this in the Material Master under the General Data view.
  
  
  
  Assign to Plant:
  
  Ensure that the material is assigned to the relevant plant and that the plant-specific data is maintained.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct settings, consult your organization's documentation or SAP help resources for guidance on material master data maintenance.
