  The SAP error message 6P526 indicates that a specific material is not provided for demand management. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system cannot find the necessary data for a material that is required for demand management processes.
  Cause:

  Demand Management Settings: The material may not be assigned to a demand management type or may not have the necessary planning parameters defined.
