• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW070 - Relevance to material planning is set to 'from release' ?

  The SAP error message IW070 indicates that the relevance to material planning for a particular maintenance order is set to "from release." This means that the system is configured to consider the order for material planning only after it has been released. If the order is not released, it will not be included in material planning activities.
  Cause:
  
  Order Status: The maintenance order is in a status that does not allow it to be considered for material planning. Specifically, it is likely still in the "created" or "in process" status and has not yet been released.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the order type or the configuration of the maintenance order may dictate that material planning relevance is only activated upon release.
  
  Solution:
  
  Release the Maintenance Order: The most straightforward solution is to release the maintenance order. This can typically be done in the SAP GUI by navigating to the order and using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., IW32) to change the status of the order to "released."
  Check Order Type Configuration: If you frequently encounter this issue, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings for the order type in the SAP system. You can check the settings in the customizing transaction (SPRO) under:
  
  Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Maintenance Processing > Maintenance Order > Order Types > Define Order Types.
  Ensure that the settings align with your business processes and requirements.
  
  
  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to release the maintenance order. Lack of proper permissions can prevent the order from being released.
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to maintenance orders include IW31 (Create Order), IW32 (Change Order), IW33 (Display Order), and IW38 (Change Orders in Mass).
  Order Statuses: Familiarize yourself with the different statuses of maintenance orders (e.g., created, released, completed) and their implications for planning and execution.
  Material Planning: Understand how maintenance orders interact with material planning processes in SAP, including how materials are procured and allocated based on order status.
  
  By addressing the order status and ensuring it is released, you should be able to resolve the IW070 error and allow the maintenance order to be included in material planning activities.
