• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EL045 - No MR orders exist; Choose enter to create orders internally ?

  The SAP error message EL045 "No MR orders exist; Choose enter to create orders internally" typically occurs in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or when trying to create or process production orders, purchase requisitions, or similar transactions in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Existing MR Orders: The primary cause of this error is that there are no existing Material Requirements (MR) orders for the material or component you are trying to process. This can happen if:
  
  The MRP run has not been executed for the relevant materials.
  The materials are not set up correctly in the system.
  There are no demand or supply elements that would generate MR orders.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the MRP settings or the material master data that prevent the system from generating the necessary orders.
  
  
  Data Issues: Missing or incorrect data in the material master, such as planning parameters, lead times, or stock levels, can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Run MRP: If you have not done so, run the MRP process for the relevant materials. This can be done using transaction code MD01 (for total planning) or MD02 (for single-item planning). Ensure that the planning parameters are correctly set in the material master.
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the relevant materials. Ensure that:
  
  The MRP type is correctly set (e.g., MRP, PD, etc.).
  The planning parameters (like lot size, safety stock, etc.) are correctly configured.
  The material is not marked as "not relevant for MRP."
  
  
  
  Check Demand and Supply: Ensure that there are valid demand (sales orders, forecasts) and supply (stock, purchase orders) elements in the system that would trigger the creation of MR orders.
  
  
  Create Orders Manually: If necessary, you can choose to create the orders manually by pressing "Enter" as suggested in the error message. This will allow you to create the required orders internally.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or your internal SAP support team for further troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  MD01: MRP Run
  MD02: Single-Item Planning
  MD04: Stock/Requirements List
  ME51N: Create Purchase Requisition
  CO01: Create Production Order
  
  
  
  MRP Configuration: Understanding MRP configuration in SAP can help prevent such issues. This includes settings in the MRP area, planning file, and MRP types.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message.
  
  
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform MRP runs and create orders.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the EL045 error and ensure that your MRP processes function smoothly.
