• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IM039 - Different planner groups, please check data ?

  The SAP error message IM039 ("Different planner groups, please check data") typically occurs in the context of materials management or production planning when there is a mismatch in the planner groups assigned to different materials or planning objects. This can happen during various processes, such as creating or changing a production order, or when trying to perform a planning run.
  Cause:
  
  Different Planner Groups: The error indicates that the materials or objects involved in the transaction are assigned to different planner groups. Each planner group is associated with specific planning parameters and strategies, and SAP requires consistency in these assignments for certain operations.
  Master Data Configuration: The master data for the materials (like Material Master, BOM, Routing) may have been set up with different planner groups, leading to this inconsistency.
  Transaction Data: The transaction data (like production orders or purchase orders) may reference materials with different planner groups.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the Material Master (transaction code MM03) and check the planner group assigned to the materials involved in the transaction.
  Ensure that all materials involved have the same planner group.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planner Groups:
  
  If you find discrepancies, you may need to change the planner group for one or more materials to ensure they match. This can be done using transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
  
  
  
  Review BOM and Routing:
  
  If the error occurs in the context of production, check the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Routing for the materials involved. Ensure that they are consistent in terms of planner groups.
  
  
  
  Check Production Orders:
  
  If the error arises during the creation or processing of production orders, verify that all components and operations in the order are assigned to the same planner group.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Team:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the planner groups, consult with your SAP functional team or a consultant who can provide guidance based on your organization's specific configuration and business processes.
