SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GPD - Pegging & Distribution

• Message number: 077

• Message text: Assembly &, order & has lower or same planning level as material &

What causes this issue?

Assignment of order &V2& is based on the historical assignments of
material &V1&. The pegging process depends on the planning level of the
material. For example, materials with planning level '000' are
processed first, then those with planning level '001', and so on.

System Response

Check the assignment of order &V2&. If assignment of the higher level
order has changed, this will be reflected in the lower level order only
after the next pegging run. If the higher level order does not have any
historical assignments, order &V2& can only be assigned in the next
program run.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GPD077 - Assembly &, order & has lower or same planning level as material & ?

  The SAP error message GPD077 indicates that there is a planning level issue with the assembly and the order in question. Specifically, it means that the assembly (or product) and the order have the same or a lower planning level than the material being processed. This can occur in scenarios involving production planning, where the system expects a certain hierarchy or relationship between the assembly, order, and material.
  Cause:
  
  Planning Levels: In SAP, planning levels are used to define the hierarchy of materials and assemblies. If an assembly is planned at a higher level than the material, the system expects the order to also be at a higher planning level.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material master or the production order may not align with the expected planning levels.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data for the materials, assemblies, or orders involved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Levels: Review the planning levels of the assembly, order, and material. Ensure that the assembly and order are at the correct planning levels relative to the material.
  Adjust Master Data: If necessary, adjust the master data for the materials and assemblies to ensure they are correctly configured. This may involve changing the planning strategy or the production version.
  Review Production Orders: Check the production order settings to ensure they are correctly set up to match the planning levels of the assembly and material.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on planning levels and how they should be configured in your system.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it involves complex configurations or customizations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or CO03 (Display Production Order) to analyze the situation further.
  Material Master Data: Check the material master data using transaction code MM03 to verify the planning levels and other relevant settings.
  Production Planning Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide) under Production Planning to ensure everything is set up correctly.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the GPD077 error and implement the necessary changes to resolve it.
