• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_PV071 - Planning BOM should have date eff. BOM usage for non-unitized material ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_PV071 indicates that there is an issue with the planning Bill of Materials (BOM) for a non-unitized material. Specifically, it suggests that the BOM should have a date-effective BOM usage defined, which is necessary for the planning process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM Usage: The BOM for the material in question does not have a valid BOM usage defined for the planning period.
  Date Effectivity: The BOM may not be effective for the date range being used in the planning process. This can happen if the BOM is not valid for the current date or if it has not been maintained correctly.
  Non-Unitized Material: The error specifically pertains to non-unitized materials, which may have different requirements for BOMs compared to unitized materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (CS02 or CS03) and check the BOM for the material in question.
  Ensure that the BOM usage is correctly defined and that it is set up for the appropriate planning scenario.
  
  
  
  Maintain Date Effectivity:
  
  Verify that the BOM is valid for the date range you are trying to plan for. If necessary, adjust the validity dates of the BOM.
  If the BOM is not valid for the current date, you may need to create a new BOM or adjust the existing one to ensure it is effective.
  
  
  
  Create or Adjust BOM:
  
  If the BOM does not exist, create a new BOM with the correct usage and date validity.
  If the BOM exists but is not set up correctly, make the necessary adjustments to ensure it meets the requirements for planning.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Ensure that the material master data is correctly maintained, particularly the views related to planning and BOM.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on BOM usage and planning for non-unitized materials.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Usage: In SAP, BOM usage defines the context in which a BOM can be used (e.g., production, sales, etc.). Different usages may have different requirements.
  Non-Unitized Materials: These are materials that are not measured in standard units (like pieces or kilograms) and may require special handling in terms of BOMs and planning.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CS01: Create BOM
  CS02: Change BOM
  CS03: Display BOM
  MM03: Display Material Master
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the MPE_PLAN_PV071 error and ensure that your planning BOM is correctly set up for the non-unitized material.
