• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_SD_COMMON164 - Strategy group of reference matl &1 is not of the MTO production type. ?

  The SAP error message FSH_SD_COMMON164 indicates that there is an issue with the strategy group of a reference material in the context of Make-to-Order (MTO) production. This error typically arises when the system expects a specific strategy group that is compatible with MTO production, but the reference material does not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Strategy Group: The reference material's strategy group is not set to a type that supports MTO production. MTO production typically requires specific strategy groups that allow for individual order processing.
  Material Master Configuration: The material master data for the reference material may not be configured correctly, particularly in the sales and distribution (SD) or production planning (PP) views.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the sales order and the material master, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record of the reference material (transaction code MM03).
  Check the strategy group in the sales view (Sales Org 1) and ensure it is set to a strategy that supports MTO (e.g., strategy group 20 for MTO).
  
  
  
  Update Strategy Group:
  
  If the strategy group is incorrect, you may need to change it to a valid MTO strategy group. This can be done using transaction code MM02 to modify the material master.
  
  
  
  Review Sales Order Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the sales order is correctly configured to use MTO production. Check the order type and ensure it is set up for MTO processing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which strategy group to use, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in SD and PP modules.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
