• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6P463 - Material status does not allow a planned independent requirement ?

  The SAP error message 6P463 indicates that the material status of a specific material does not permit the creation of planned independent requirements (PIRs). This typically occurs when the material is set to a status that restricts its use in planning processes.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Material Status Settings: The material may have a status that restricts it from being used in planning. This can be due to settings in the material master data.
  Planning Type: The material may be set to a planning type that does not allow for planned independent requirements.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration in the system may not allow for certain materials to have planned independent requirements based on their status.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "MRP" views for the material status.

  Change Material Status:
  
  If the material status is incorrect, you may need to change it. This can be done using transaction code MM02 to modify the material master.
  Ensure that the material status allows for planned independent requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Type:
  
  Check the planning type assigned to the material. Ensure it is appropriate for the type of planning you want to perform.
  If necessary, change the planning type to one that allows for PIRs.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
