How To Fix MD132 - Simulation planned orders cannot be converted

MD132 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MD - Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

• Message number: 132

• Message text: Simulation planned orders cannot be converted

What causes this issue?

The planned order selected is a simulative planned order from long-term
planning. In long-term planning, the system only creates planned
orders. These planned orders are not converted into either production
orders or purchase requisitions.

System Response

Planned orders that are created in long-term planning cannot be
converted. They are used to check the effects of the simulative demand
program on production and procurement. Thus, a preview is availble of
the planned demand program.
The planned orders are changed or replanned in the operative planning
run.

  Causes of MD132 Error
  
  
  Simulation Mode: The planned orders you are trying to convert are in simulation mode. This means they are not intended for actual production or procurement and are used for planning purposes only.
  
  
  Order Type Restrictions: The order type of the planned order may not allow conversion. Some order types are specifically designated for simulation and cannot be converted.
  
  
  Missing Data: Required data for conversion may be missing, such as material availability, routing, or BOM (Bill of Materials) information.
  
  
  Status of Planned Orders: The planned orders may have a status that prevents conversion, such as
