• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61080 - Material &1 &2. Status &3 does not allow long-term planning ?

  The SAP error message "61080 Material &1 &2. Status &3 does not allow long-term planning" typically indicates that the material you are trying to include in long-term planning (LTP) has a status that prevents it from being processed in this way. This can occur for various reasons, such as the material being blocked, marked for deletion, or having a status that restricts its use in planning activities.
  Cause:
  
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that restricts its use in long-term planning. Common statuses that can cause this issue include:
  
  Blocked for procurement
  Marked for deletion
  Not relevant for planning
  
  
  
  Master Data Settings: The material master data may not be set up correctly for long-term planning. This includes settings in the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) views.
  
  
  Plant Status: The plant associated with the material may also have restrictions that prevent long-term planning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the status of the material in the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, MRP).
  If the material is blocked or marked for deletion, you may need to change its status to allow long-term planning.
  
  
  
  Update Material Master:
  
  If the material is not relevant for planning, you can change the settings in the MRP view of the material master to make it relevant for long-term planning.
  Ensure that the MRP type is set correctly (e.g., PD for MRP, VB for consumption-based planning).
  
  
  
  Check Plant Settings:
  
  Verify the plant settings to ensure that there are no restrictions on long-term planning for the specific plant where the material is located.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the material status or settings, consult with your SAP administrator or a colleague with expertise in material management to ensure that changes are made appropriately.
