• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MD142 - Firmed recpts not taken into consideration in planning scenario & ?

  The SAP error message MD142 ("Firmed receipts not taken into consideration in planning scenario") typically occurs in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) when the system is unable to consider firmed receipts (such as production orders or purchase orders) in the planning process. This can lead to discrepancies in the planning results, as the system may not account for confirmed supply when calculating requirements.
  Causes of MD142 Error
  
  
  Planning Scenario Settings: The planning scenario may not be configured to consider firmed receipts. This can happen if the planning parameters are not set correctly.
  
  
  Firmed Receipts Not Active: The firmed receipts may not be active or may have been set to a status that excludes them from planning.
  
  
  MRP Type Configuration: The MRP type assigned to the material may not be set to consider firmed receipts. For example, certain MRP types may ignore firmed orders.
  
  
  Planning File Entries: The planning file entries may not be updated correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the firmed receipts.
  
  
  Time Period Issues: The planning horizon may not include the time frame of the firmed receipts, causing them to be ignored in the planning run.
  
  
  Solutions to MD142 Error
  
  
  Check Planning Scenario Settings: Review the settings of the planning scenario in transaction code MDP1 or MDP2 to ensure that firmed receipts are included in the planning process.
  
  
  Verify Firmed Receipts: Ensure that the firmed receipts (production orders, purchase orders) are correctly created and active. You can check this in transaction codes like CO03 for production orders or ME23N for purchase orders.
  
  
  Review MRP Type: Check the MRP type assigned to the material in the material master (transaction code MM03). Ensure that it is set to consider firmed receipts.
  
  
  Update Planning File: If necessary, run the planning file update using transaction code MD21 to ensure that the system recognizes all relevant firmed receipts.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Horizon: Make sure that the planning horizon set in the MRP parameters includes the dates of the firmed receipts. You can adjust this in the MRP settings.
  
  
  Run MRP Again: After making the necessary adjustments, run the MRP again using transaction code MD02 or MD03 to see if the issue is resolved.
