How To Fix CO639 - Please carry out (multi-level) planning run for material & first

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CO - PPC order processing messages

• Message number: 639

• Message text: Please carry out (multi-level) planning run for material & first

What causes this issue?

The planned order cannot be converted as the related order network is
not complete. A planned order was not created for the secondary
requirement for the directly manufactured components.
This can be done using multi-level material requirements planning.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Start multi-level material requirements planning for the planned order
material.
If conversion is still not possible after multi-level planning,
investigate the following:
Was the order network planned successfully, or did the program
terminate during planning? Check the termination MRP lists.
Check whether the material master for the directly manufactured
assemblies is maintained correctly. The MRP type should be set so that
the material is planned (meaning that it should not be set to 'ND').
Dependent requirements should be relevant for planning.
If there is a fixed planned order for an assembly in the order network
for which the order quantity is different to the quantity of the
initiating secondary requirement? If so, deselect the indicator for
fixing the planned order, or adjust the quantity and then carry out
planning again.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO639 - Please carry out (multi-level) planning run for material & first ?

  The SAP error message CO639 typically indicates that a multi-level planning run has not been executed for a specific material or that the planning run needs to be carried out in a certain sequence. This error often arises in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with materials that have dependencies or require a specific planning sequence.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Planning Run: The material in question has not undergone a multi-level planning run, which is necessary for the system to generate the required planning data.
  Incorrect Sequence: The planning run may need to be executed in a specific order, especially if there are dependencies between materials (e.g., parent-child relationships in BOMs).
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the material master data, such as missing BOMs or routing information.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be set correctly, preventing the system from executing the planning run.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Execute Multi-Level Planning Run:
  
  Go to the transaction code MD02 (Single-item, multi-level planning) or MD03 (Single-item, planning).
  Enter the material number and plant, and execute the planning run.
  Ensure that the planning run is set to consider all levels of the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Sequence:
  
  If the error indicates a specific sequence, ensure that the necessary planning runs for parent materials are completed before planning for child materials.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that the BOM and routing are correctly defined.
  Verify that the material is set up for planning in the material master (e.g., MRP type, lot size, etc.).
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review and adjust the planning parameters in the material master to ensure they align with your planning strategy.
  
  
  
  Run MRP:
  
  If applicable, run the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) for the entire plant or specific materials to ensure that all dependent materials are planned correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MD01 (MRP run for all materials), MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), and MD05 (MRP List).
  BOM and Routing: Understand the structure of your BOMs and routings, as these are critical for multi-level planning.
  MRP Types: Different MRP types (e.g., PD, VB, etc.) can affect how planning is executed, so ensure that the correct type is assigned to the material.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may address specific issues related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CO639 error and successfully carry out the necessary planning runs for your materials.
