  Status of Planned Orders: The planned orders might be in a status that does not allow them to be processed (e.g., they are already converted to production orders or are marked for deletion).
  Missing or Incorrect Data: There may be missing or incorrect data in the master data (e.g., material master, BOM, routing) that prevents the planned orders from being selected.
  MRP Parameters: The MRP parameters set in the material master or in the MRP configuration may not be appropriate for the planned orders.

  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used in the MRP run or the transaction. Ensure that the planned orders you expect to see are included based on the criteria.
  Review Planned Order Status: Check the status of the planned orders in question. If they are already converted or marked for deletion, you will need to address that before proceeding.
  Validate Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (material master, BOM, routing) is complete and accurate. Correct any discrepancies found.
  Adjust MRP Parameters: Review and adjust the MRP parameters in the material master or MRP configuration to ensure they align with your planning needs.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the planned orders. If locks are found, coordinate with the relevant users to resolve them.
