• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MD435 - &1: &2 (W1) ?

  The SAP error message MD435 typically relates to issues in the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process, specifically concerning the availability of materials or the configuration of the MRP settings. The message format usually indicates that there is a problem with the planning data for a specific material.
  Cause:
  The error message MD435 can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Missing Master Data: The material master data for the item in question may be incomplete or missing. This includes data related to MRP views, such as planning strategy, lot size, and procurement type.
  
  
  Incorrect MRP Settings: The MRP settings for the material may not be configured correctly. This can include settings related to lead times, safety stock, or planning parameters.
  
  
  Stock Availability Issues: There may be insufficient stock available to meet the planned requirements, leading to a failure in the MRP run.
  
  
  Planning File Entries: The planning file entries for the material may not be updated or may be missing, which can prevent the MRP from processing the material correctly.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the MRP area or the plant settings that affect how materials are planned.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MD435 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and verify that all relevant MRP views are correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the planning strategy, lot size, and procurement type are set appropriately.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Settings:
  
  Check the MRP settings in the material master and ensure that lead times, safety stock, and other parameters are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Analyze Stock Levels:
  
  Use transaction code MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to check the stock levels and see if there are any shortages or excesses that could be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Update Planning File Entries:
  
  If necessary, you can run the planning file update (transaction code MD21) to ensure that the planning file entries are current.
  
  
  
  Check MRP Area Configuration:
  
  If you are using MRP areas, ensure that they are configured correctly and that the material is assigned to the appropriate MRP area.
  
  
  
  Run MRP Again:
  
  After making the necessary corrections, run the MRP process again (transaction code MD01 or MD02) to see if the error persists.
