• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GPD061 - Material & in plant & is irrelevant for requirements grouping ?

  The SAP error message GPD061 indicates that a specific material in a particular plant is not relevant for the requirements grouping. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system is trying to process requirements for a material that is not set up correctly in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Settings: The material may not be set up correctly in the material master. This could include missing or incorrect settings in the MRP views.
  Plant Settings: The plant configuration for the material may not be properly defined, leading to the system not recognizing it as relevant for requirements grouping.
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may not support requirements grouping. For example, materials with certain MRP types (like "ND" - No MRP) will not be relevant for requirements grouping.
  Status of the Material: The material could be flagged as inactive or obsolete, which would also make it irrelevant for planning purposes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the MRP views for the material in question.
  Ensure that the MRP type is appropriate for the requirements grouping and that all necessary fields are filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Plant Settings:
  
  Verify that the plant settings for the material are correctly configured. This includes checking the plant-specific data in the material master.
  
  
  
  Adjust MRP Type:
  
  If the MRP type is not suitable, consider changing it to one that supports requirements grouping. This can be done in the material master under the MRP view.
  
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Ensure that the material is active and not flagged for deletion or obsolescence.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to material requirements planning and requirements grouping for additional insights.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run the MRP process again to see if the error persists.
