SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 61 - Fehlermeldungen fuer Bedarfsplanung

• Message number: 047

• Message text: Change to a directly produced planned order - please note long text

What causes this issue?

Changes to planned orders for direct production should only be carried
out by the planning run.
Only this can guarantee the match between requirement and order, which
is necessary for direct production, as well as the completeness of the
collective order.
A manual change to a planned order for direct production is, therefore,
only sensible in exceptional cases. Such an exception could be, for
example, the addition or deletion of a component.
Please note that the firming of the planned order is reset in the next
MRP run for this material so that the consistency of the collective
order can be guaranteed. Therefore, you should only change the planned
order when you wish to convert the collective order immediately after.
