• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY540 - No requirements in evaluation period were found ?

  The SAP error message CY540: No requirements in evaluation period were found typically occurs in the context of capacity planning and production planning within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system could not find any requirements (such as production orders, planned orders, or purchase requisitions) for the specified evaluation period when trying to analyze capacity.
  Causes:
  
  No Planned Orders or Production Orders: There may be no planned orders or production orders created for the material in the specified time frame.
  Incorrect Evaluation Period: The evaluation period specified in the planning run may not align with the periods where requirements exist.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the planning run may be too restrictive, filtering out all the requirements.
  Material Master Data: The material may not be set up correctly in the material master, or it may not be assigned to a valid production version.
  Capacity Planning Settings: The settings for capacity planning may not be configured correctly, leading to no requirements being recognized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Existing Orders: Verify if there are any planned orders or production orders for the material in the specified evaluation period. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (e.g., MD04 for stock/requirements list).
  Adjust Evaluation Period: Ensure that the evaluation period you are using in your planning run is correct and encompasses the time frame where you expect to see requirements.
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria used in the planning run. Make sure they are not too restrictive and that they include the necessary parameters to capture the requirements.
  Verify Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up, including the relevant views (e.g., MRP view, Work Scheduling view) and that the material is active.
  Check Capacity Planning Settings: Review the configuration settings for capacity planning in the system to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Run MRP: If you have made changes or created new orders, run the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process again to see if the requirements are now recognized.
