  Cause:
  The error message MD06407 is informational rather than an error that prevents processing. It is triggered when a new MRP area is created based on an existing one. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to create a new MRP area and the system recognizes that it is a copy of an existing MRP area.
  The system is set up to allow copying of MRP areas for efficiency, and it is notifying you of this action.
  
  Solution:
  Since this message is informational, there is generally no action required unless you did not intend to create a copy. If you want to proceed with the creation of the MRP area, you can simply acknowledge the message. If you did not intend to create a copy, you may want to:
  
  Review the MRP area settings to ensure they are correct.
  Check if you need to create a new MRP area from scratch instead of copying.

  Related Information:
  
  MRP Areas: MRP areas are used in SAP to manage inventory and planning at a more granular level than just the plant or storage location. They allow for specific planning strategies for different segments of inventory.
  Copying MRP Areas: When copying MRP areas, the system typically copies settings such as planning parameters, lot sizes, and other relevant data from the source MRP area to the new one.
  Transaction Codes: You can manage MRP areas using transaction codes like MD02 (MRP Run) or MD03 (Single-item, single-level planning) to see how the MRP areas are being utilized.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the message is causing problems in your workflow, consider consulting with your SAP support team or reviewing the configuration settings related to MRP areas in your system.
