M3087 - Details

• The SAP error message M3087 indicates that the safety stock for a material is being calculated automatically by the system, which means that it cannot be manually fixed or adjusted in the material's master data profile. This typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory control within SAP.
  
  Cause:
  
  Automatic Safety Stock Calculation: The system is configured to calculate safety stock based on certain parameters (like demand variability, lead time, etc.) rather than allowing manual input. This is often set up in the material master or through specific planning strategies.
  Planning Strategy: The material may be assigned a planning strategy that dictates automatic safety stock calculation, such as MRP (Material Requirements Planning) strategies that rely on statistical forecasting.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the configuration for safety stock calculation may be set to automatic, preventing manual adjustments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the specific material in question. Look
