• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61140 - No planning file entry exists for this selection ?

  The SAP error message "61140 No planning file entry exists for this selection" typically occurs in the context of production planning and control (PP) or materials management (MM) when the system is unable to find a planning file entry for the specified selection criteria. This can happen during various processes, such as MRP (Material Requirements Planning) runs, where the system looks for planning data to process.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Planning File Entry: The most common cause is that there is no planning file entry for the material or the selection criteria you are using. This can happen if the material has not been set up for planning or if it has been excluded from planning.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the MRP run or planning process may not match any existing planning file entries.
  
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents it from being included in planning (e.g., blocked for planning).
  
  
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may not be set up correctly, or it may not be appropriate for the planning process being executed.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration that prevent the planning file from being created or accessed.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Planning File Entries: Use transaction code MD21 to check if there are any planning file entries for the material in question. If there are none, you may need to run an MRP run to create them.
  
  
  Review Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up, including the MRP type, planning parameters, and status. You can check this using transaction code MM03.
  
  
  Run MRP: If the planning file entries are missing, you can run the MRP for the relevant materials using transaction code MD01 or MD02 to generate the necessary planning file entries.
  
  
  Check MRP Type: Verify that the MRP type assigned to the material is appropriate for the planning process. If necessary, change the MRP type to one that allows planning.
  
  
  Check for Blocked Materials: Ensure that the material is not blocked for planning. You can check this in the material master under the MRP view.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or support for further troubleshooting steps specific to your configuration.
