• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COOS060 - No suitable planned independent requirement for material &1 ?

  The SAP error message COOS060 indicates that there is no suitable planned independent requirement (PIR) for the specified material. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when trying to create a production order or when performing a related planning activity.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Planned Independent Requirements: The most common cause is that there are no planned independent requirements defined for the material in the relevant planning period.
  Incorrect Planning Version: The planning version being used may not have the required PIRs.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material may not be set up correctly in the material master, or it may not be assigned to the correct planning group.
  Date Range Issues: The date range for the planned independent requirements may not cover the date of the production order or planning activity.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy assigned to the material may not be appropriate for generating PIRs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Planned Independent Requirements:
  
  Go to transaction code MD61 (Create Planned Independent Requirements) or MD62 (Change Planned Independent Requirements) to check if there are any PIRs defined for the material.
  If there are no PIRs, create them as needed.
  
  
  
  Verify Planning Version:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct planning version that contains the required PIRs. You can check this in the planning settings.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM03 to review the material master data. Check the MRP views to ensure that the material is set up correctly and assigned to the appropriate planning group.
  
  
  
  Check Date Ranges:
  
  Ensure that the date of the production order or planning activity falls within the date range of the PIRs. If necessary, adjust the PIR dates.
  
  
  
  Examine Planning Strategy:
  
  Review the planning strategy assigned to the material in the material master. If the strategy does not support PIRs, consider changing it to a more suitable strategy.
  
  
  
  Run MRP:
  
  If you have made changes to the PIRs or material master, run the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process (transaction code MD02) to generate the necessary requirements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MD61: Create Planned Independent Requirements
  MD62: Change Planned Independent Requirements
  MM03: Display Material Master
  MD02: MRP Run
  
  
  Planning Strategies: Familiarize yourself with different planning strategies in SAP, as they dictate how materials are planned and how PIRs are generated.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on planned independent requirements and production planning processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the COOS060 error and ensure that the necessary planned independent requirements are in place for your material.
