• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6P432 - Requirements date indicator equals splitting indicator ?

  The SAP error message 6P432 indicates that there is a conflict between the requirements date indicator and the splitting indicator in the context of a production or planning process. This error typically arises in the context of production planning, material requirements planning (MRP), or when dealing with sales orders and deliveries.
  Cause:
