How To Fix MD434 - &1: &2 (S5)

MD434 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 434

• Message text: &1: &2 (S5)

What causes this issue?

No configuration valuation (characteristic valuation) could be
determined for the order.
However, the bill of material is configurable and can only be exploded
when a configuration valuation is available.
As the configuration valuation is missing, the bill of material has not
been exploded.
Possible causes of error:
For make-to-order production, the configuration valuation is
transferred from the requirement. The cause of error is probably that
the requirement does not have a configuration valuation.
For make-to-stock production, the configuration valuation is
transferred from the material master. There is probably no
plant-dependent characteristic valuation (variant) in the material
master.
For planning with a "Planning without final assembly" strategy, the
configuration valuation is transferred from the independent requirement
or from the material master (variants or indicator planning variant).
A configuration valuation may not have been defined in the independent
requirement or the material master.
