• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3285 - In-house production time is 0 for material produced in-house ?

  The SAP error message M3285 indicates that there is an issue with the in-house production time for a material that is produced internally. Specifically, it means that the system has detected that the in-house production time is set to zero, which is not valid for materials that are supposed to be produced in-house.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The in-house production time may not have been set up correctly in the material master record.
  Missing Data: The relevant fields in the material master (such as production lead time) may not have been filled out.
  Incorrect Production Type: The material may be incorrectly classified, leading to the system expecting a production time that is not defined.
  Routing Issues: If the routing for the material is not defined or is incomplete, it may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "MRP" (Material Requirements Planning) view and ensure that the in-house production time is set to a valid value (greater than zero).
  If it is set to zero, update it with the appropriate in-house production time.
  
  
  
  Review Routing:
  
  Ensure that there is a valid routing for the material (transaction code CA03).
  Check if the routing has the necessary operations defined and that they are correctly linked to the material.
  
  
  
  Check Production Version:
  
  If applicable, check the production version for the material (transaction code C223).
  Ensure that the production version is correctly defined and linked to the material.
  
  
  
  Consult with Production Planning Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct in-house production time, consult with your production planning or manufacturing team to determine the appropriate lead time.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
