• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61008 - Material &1 &2 &3 is not planned automatically ?

  The SAP error message 61008, which states "Material &1 &2 &3 is not planned automatically," typically occurs in the context of materials planning within the SAP system, particularly in the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process. This error indicates that the specified material is not set up to be planned automatically, which can be due to several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  MRP Type: The material may not have an appropriate MRP type assigned. For example, if the MRP type is set to "ND" (No MRP), the system will not plan the material automatically.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be configured correctly. This includes settings like lot size, safety stock, and reorder point.
  Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents it from being planned, such as being marked as "blocked" or "inactive."
  Plant Settings: The plant settings for the material may not allow for automatic planning. This can include settings in the material master or plant-specific parameters.
  Forecasting: If the material is dependent on forecasting and the forecast is not set up, it may not be planned automatically.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check MRP Type: Go to the material master (transaction MM03) and check the MRP type assigned to the material. If it is set to "ND," change it to an appropriate MRP type (e.g., "PD" for MRP).
  Review Planning Parameters: Ensure that the planning parameters such as lot size, safety stock, and reorder point are correctly configured in the material master.
  Material Status: Check the material status in the material master. If it is blocked or inactive, change the status to allow planning.
  Plant Settings: Verify the plant-specific settings for the material. Ensure that the plant is set up for MRP and that the material is included in the planning run.
  Forecasting Setup: If the material relies on forecasting, ensure that the forecast is set up correctly and that the material is included in the forecast.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MD02 (Single-item, single-level MRP) to check and modify the material settings.
  MRP Configuration: Review the MRP configuration in the system to ensure that it aligns with your business processes. This can be done through transaction SPRO (Customizing).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed explanations of MRP types and planning parameters.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error message 61008 and ensure that the material is planned automatically in the SAP system.
