• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COOS062 - No planned independent requirements exist for selection ?

  The SAP error message COOS062 indicates that there are no planned independent requirements available for the selection criteria you are using in your planning process. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when working with the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module.
  Cause:
  
  No Independent Requirements Defined: The most common cause is that there are no independent requirements (such as sales orders or forecasts) defined for the material in question.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using may not match any existing independent requirements. This could be due to incorrect planning versions, periods, or other filters.
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data, such as the material not being set up correctly for planning or the planning strategy not being appropriate.
  Planning Version: The planning version you are using may not have any independent requirements defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Independent Requirements: 
  
  Go to the transaction code MD61 (Create Independent Requirements) or MD62 (Change Independent Requirements) to check if there are any independent requirements defined for the material.
  If there are none, you may need to create them based on your sales forecasts or other planning needs.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Ensure that the selection criteria you are using in your planning run (e.g., MRP run, planning table) are correct and that they correspond to the independent requirements you expect to see.
  Check the planning version and ensure it is the correct one that contains the independent requirements.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify the material master data (transaction code MM03) to ensure that the material is set up for planning and that the relevant views (MRP view) are correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the planning strategy is appropriate for the type of independent requirements you are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Run MRP:
  
  If you have created independent requirements, ensure that you run the MRP (transaction code MD02 or MD03) to generate the planned orders based on those requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If you are still facing issues, consult the SAP documentation or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
