How To Fix MF326 - For sales order & &, no requirements exist in the master plan

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MF - MPS planning and evaluation

• Message number: 326

• Message text: For sales order & &, no requirements exist in the master plan

What causes this issue?

When no MRP relevant requirement exists, an order report cannot be
generated.
The following causes are possible:
1. For the "make-to-stock production" planning strategy, sales orders
are only displayed as information. Customer requirements are not taken
into consideration in MRP with this planning strategy, therefore no
replenishment elements can be determined in the order report for sales
orders.
2. The sales order item was rejected.
3. A delivery exists that covers the complete sales order item.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MF326 - For sales order & &, no requirements exist in the master plan ?

  The SAP error message MF326 indicates that there are no requirements in the master plan for a specific sales order. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system cannot find any planned requirements for the specified sales order.
  Cause:
  
  Sales Order Not Released: The sales order may not be released for planning, meaning it is not yet considered in the MRP run.
  No MRP Type Assigned: The material associated with the sales order may not have an MRP type assigned, which means it won't be included in the planning process.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be set correctly, leading to no requirements being generated.
  No Stock or Inventory: There may be no stock available for the material, and the system is unable to create a requirement.
  Incorrect MRP Run: The MRP run may not have been executed correctly or at all, leading to no requirements being generated for the sales order.
  Sales Order Item Not Relevant for MRP: The item in the sales order may be marked as not relevant for MRP.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Sales Order Status: Ensure that the sales order is released and is in a status that allows it to be included in MRP.
  Verify MRP Type: Check the material master record to ensure that an appropriate MRP type is assigned to the material.
  Review Planning Parameters: Ensure that the planning parameters (like lot size, safety stock, etc.) are set correctly in the material master.
  Execute MRP Run: If the MRP run has not been executed, run it to generate the necessary requirements for the sales order.
  Check Item Category: Verify that the item category in the sales order is set to a type that is relevant for MRP.
  Analyze MRP Results: Use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to analyze the stock and requirements situation for the material.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to your business processes.
