How To Fix 61254 - Storage location '&' for material '&' in MRP area '&' planned separately

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 61 - Fehlermeldungen fuer Bedarfsplanung

• Message number: 254

• Message text: Storage location '&' for material '&' in MRP area '&' planned separately

What causes this issue?

A storage location is defined in the material master as being planned
separately. Additionally, the storage location is assigned to the
material via an MRP area.
A storage location can, however, either only be defined as a storage
location that is planned separately or it is assigned to a material as
an MRP area.

How to fix this error?

Change either the MRP indicator in the material master and therefore
you redefine the storage location so that it is not planned separately
or you delete the assignment of the material to the MRP area.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61254 - Storage location '&' for material '&' in MRP area '&' planned separately ?

  The SAP error message 61254 indicates that a specific storage location for a material in a given MRP (Material Requirements Planning) area is planned separately. This typically means that the system is set up to manage inventory and planning for that material in a way that is distinct from other materials or storage locations.
  Cause:
  
  Separate Planning: The material is configured to be planned separately in the MRP area, which may not align with the expectations of the user or the overall planning strategy.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the MRP area settings or the material master data that is causing the system to treat the storage location separately.
  MRP Area Settings: The MRP area may have been defined in such a way that it requires separate planning for certain materials or storage locations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check MRP Area Configuration: Review the configuration of the MRP area to ensure that it is set up correctly. You can do this by navigating to the MRP area settings in the SAP system.
  Material Master Data: Verify the material master data for the specific material and storage location. Ensure that the planning settings are appropriate and that the material is not inadvertently set to be planned separately.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If separate planning is not required, consider adjusting the planning parameters for the material or the MRP area to allow for combined planning.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on MRP area settings and material planning.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to manage MRP areas and understand the implications of separate planning.
