• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61704 - Pegged planned order for requirements &1 / &2 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message 61704 indicates that a pegged planned order for a specific requirement does not exist. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system is unable to find a planned order that is linked to a specific requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Pegged Planned Order: The planned order that should fulfill the requirement is either not created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the MRP settings or the production planning process.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data, such as material master records or BOM (Bill of Materials) settings.
  Timing Issues: The planned order may not have been generated yet due to timing issues in the MRP run.
  Incorrect Requirement Type: The requirement type may not be set up correctly to link to a planned order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planned Orders: Verify if the planned order exists for the specified requirement. You can do this by checking the planned orders in the system using transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or COHV (Mass Processing of Production Orders).
  Run MRP: If the planned order does not exist, consider running the MRP again to generate the necessary planned orders. Use transaction code MD01 or MD02 for this purpose.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for MRP and production planning to ensure they are set up correctly. This includes checking the MRP type, lot size, and other relevant parameters.
  Check Master Data: Review the material master data and BOM to ensure that all necessary information is correctly maintained and that there are no discrepancies.
  Analyze Requirement Type: Ensure that the requirement type is correctly defined and that it is set up to link to planned orders appropriately.
  Consult Logs: Check the MRP logs for any errors or warnings that may provide additional context on why the planned order was not created.
