• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AG120 - No MRP element found (are single records expanded?) ?

  The SAP error message AG120 "No MRP element found (are single records expanded?)" typically occurs in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) when the system is unable to find any MRP elements for a specific material or planning situation. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  No MRP Data: The material may not have any MRP data maintained in the system. This could be due to the material not being set up for MRP or not having any relevant planning data.
  
  
  Single Records Not Expanded: The error message suggests that single records may not be expanded. This means that the MRP elements might be hidden or not displayed in the current view.
  
  
  Incorrect MRP Type: The material might have an incorrect MRP type assigned, which could lead to the system not generating any MRP elements.
  
  
  Planning File Entry Missing: If the planning file entry for the material is missing, the system will not be able to find any MRP elements.
  
  
  Material Status: The material might be blocked for planning due to its status, which can prevent MRP elements from being generated.
  
  
  MRP Area Configuration: If the MRP area is not correctly configured or if the material is not assigned to the correct MRP area, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check MRP Data: Verify that the material has the necessary MRP data maintained. You can do this by checking the material master record (transaction code MM03) and ensuring that the MRP views are properly filled out.
  
  
  Expand Single Records: If you are using a report or transaction that allows for the expansion of single records, ensure that you have expanded all relevant records to view the MRP elements.
  
  
  Review MRP Type: Check the MRP type assigned to the material. If it is incorrect, you may need to change it to a valid MRP type that allows for planning.
  
  
  Check Planning File Entries: Use transaction code MD21 to check if there are planning file entries for the material. If not, you may need to run the planning file entry creation program (transaction code MD01) to generate them.
  
  
  Material Status: Review the material status to ensure it is not blocked for planning. You can check this in the material master record.
  
  
  MRP Area Configuration: If applicable, verify that the MRP area is correctly configured and that the material is assigned to the appropriate MRP area.
