• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MD106 - Planned ind. reqmts version & has already been assigned ?

  The SAP error message MD106 indicates that there is an issue with the planned independent requirements (PIR) version in the system. Specifically, it means that the planned independent requirements version you are trying to use has already been assigned to a different planning area or is already in use, which prevents you from assigning it again.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The planned independent requirements version you are trying to assign is already assigned to another planning area or is in use.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the planning area that restrict the assignment of the PIR version.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies in the data that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Go to the transaction code MD61 (Create Planned Independent Requirements) or MD62 (Change Planned Independent Requirements) and check if the version is already assigned to another planning area.
  Use transaction MDM1 to check the configuration of the planning area and see if the version is already in use.
  
  
  
  Change Version Assignment:
  
  If the version is indeed assigned to another planning area, you may need to either:
  
  Use a different version that is not currently assigned.
  Remove the assignment from the other planning area if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the planning area to ensure that the version assignment rules are set correctly.
  You can do this through the transaction SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) and navigate to the relevant sections for planning area configuration.
