• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61041 - No planned orders exist for selected criterion ?

  The SAP error message "61041 No planned orders exist for selected criterion" typically occurs when you are trying to access planned orders in the system, but there are no planned orders available that meet the criteria you have specified. This can happen in various transactions related to production planning, such as when using transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or MD03 (Display MRP List).
  Causes:
  
  No Planned Orders Created: There may simply be no planned orders created for the material or plant you are trying to view.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you have entered (such as material number, plant, or date range) may not match any existing planned orders.
  Data Not Yet Processed: If you have recently run MRP (Material Requirements Planning), the planned orders may not have been generated yet.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, you may not have the necessary authorizations to view planned orders for certain materials or plants.
  Deleted or Archived Orders: Planned orders may have been deleted or archived, making them unavailable for display.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check for Existing Planned Orders:
  
  Use transaction code MD04 or MD03 to check if any planned orders exist for the material and plant you are interested in.
  Ensure that you are using the correct material number and plant.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  Review and adjust your selection criteria to ensure they are broad enough to capture any existing planned orders.
  Consider removing filters such as date ranges or specific order types to see if any planned orders appear.
  
  
  
  Run MRP:
  
  If you suspect that planned orders have not been generated, run the MRP process for the relevant material and plant. This can be done using transaction code MD01 (MRP Run) or MD02 (Single-item, Multi-level MRP).
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to view planned orders for the specified material and plant. Consult with your SAP security team if needed.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you suspect that planned orders have been deleted or archived, consult with your production planning or materials management team to understand the status of planned orders.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), MD03 (Display MRP List), and MD01 (MRP Run).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to planned orders and MRP processing.
