How To Fix MD06020 - The corresponding plant parameters are used for control

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MD06 - MRP Area

• Message number: 020

• Message text: The corresponding plant parameters are used for control

What causes this issue?

For special procurement keys that are entered in the MRP area segment,
MRP only takes the settings for the MRP area into account that refer to
an actual special procurement, for example stock transfer or
subcontracting. Special procurement keys with settings that refer to
the control of BOM explosions, for example, a phantom assembly, are not
taken account of when entered in the MRP area segments. In MRP, these
special procurement keys are only taken from the plant material master
segment.

How to fix this error?

If you use special procurement keys to control BOM explosion, only
enter them in the plant segment of the material master.
