• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNIF_MAT000 - Material requirements planing not intended ?

  The SAP error message CNIF_MAT000 ("Material requirements planning not intended") typically occurs in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) when the system is unable to process a material for planning due to specific settings or configurations. Here are the common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  MRP Type Not Set: The material may not have a valid MRP type assigned in the material master. If the MRP type is set to "ND" (No MRP), the system will not plan for that material.
  
  
  MRP Group Settings: The MRP group assigned to the material may not be configured to allow planning. This could be due to settings that restrict planning for certain materials.
  
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents it from being included in MRP runs, such as being marked as "blocked" or "inactive."
  
  
  Plant Settings: The plant settings for the material may not allow for MRP processing. This could be due to specific configurations in the plant or storage location.
  
  
  Planning File Entry: The planning file entry for the material may not exist, which can happen if the material has never been planned before.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check MRP Type: Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the MRP type. If it is set to "ND," change it to an appropriate MRP type (e.g., PD for MRP).
  
  
  Review MRP Group: Check the MRP group assigned to the material (transaction code OMD0) and ensure it is configured correctly to allow planning.
  
  
  Material Status: Verify the material status in the material master. If it is blocked or inactive, change it to an active status.
  
  
  Plant Configuration: Review the plant settings for the material (transaction code OMDU) to ensure that MRP is enabled for that plant.
  
  
  Planning File Entry: If the material has never been planned, you can create a planning file entry manually using transaction code MD21 or by running an MRP run for the material.
