• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CR327 - Allocation of standard keys only for actual requirement indicator 2 ?

  The SAP error message CR327, which states "Allocation of standard keys only for actual requirement indicator 2," typically occurs in the context of material requirements planning (MRP) or production planning when there is an issue with the configuration of the material master or the planning parameters.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system attempts to allocate standard keys (which are used for planning and production purposes) to a material that is not set up correctly for the type of requirement being processed. Specifically, this error is related to the "actual requirement indicator" in the material master, which defines how the material is to be planned and allocated.
  The actual requirement indicator can have different values, and the standard keys can only be allocated when the indicator is set to a specific value (usually '2' for actual requirements). If the indicator is set to a value that does not allow for standard key allocation, this error will occur.
  Solution:
  To resolve the CR327 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material (transaction code MM03).
  Check the MRP views and ensure that the actual requirement indicator is set correctly. It should be set to '2' if you want to allocate standard keys.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Settings:
  
  Ensure that the MRP settings for the material are configured correctly. This includes checking the MRP type, lot size, and other relevant parameters.
  
  
  
  Adjust Requirement Indicator:
  
  If the actual requirement indicator is not set to '2', you may need to change it. This can be done in the material master (transaction code MM02) under the relevant MRP view.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to MRP and material planning to understand the implications of changing the actual requirement indicator.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making changes, test the planning run or allocation process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the material master and MRP settings, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), MD01 (MRP Run).
  MRP Types: Understand the different MRP types (e.g., PD, VB, etc.) and how they relate to the actual requirement indicator.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the CR327 error and implement the necessary changes to resolve it.
