• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_RTG_VERS133 - Do not enter stock type for BOM item &1 with positive quantity ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_RTG_VERS133 indicates that there is an issue with the stock type for a Bill of Materials (BOM) item that has a positive quantity. This error typically arises during planning or when trying to create or modify a BOM in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A BOM item is defined with a positive quantity, but the stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) is not specified or is incorrectly specified.
  The system expects a stock type to be defined for items that are to be planned or processed, especially when they have a positive quantity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Item Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (e.g., CS02 for changing BOM).
  Locate the specific BOM item indicated by the error message (the item number will be shown as &1).
  Ensure that the stock type is correctly defined for this BOM item.
  
  
  
  Define Stock Type:
  
  If the stock type is missing, you need to assign a valid stock type to the BOM item.
  This can usually be done in the material master record for the item. Use transaction MM02 to modify the material master and ensure that the stock type is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material master data for the BOM item is complete and correct. This includes checking the views related to inventory management and planning.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  If you are using planning tools (like MRP), ensure that the planning parameters are set correctly for the BOM item.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the stock types or how to configure them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to reprocess the BOM or planning run to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Stock Types: In SAP, stock types categorize inventory based on its status (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked). Each stock type has specific implications for how materials are managed and accounted for.
  BOM Management: Understanding how BOMs are structured and managed in SAP is crucial for effective inventory and production planning.
  SAP Transactions: Familiarize yourself with relevant transactions such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), CS03 (Display BOM), and MM02 (Change Material Master) for managing BOMs and materials.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
