  The SAP error message MPN02010 indicates that requirements planning is not activated for a specific plant in the system. This can occur in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) when trying to perform planning activities for a plant that has not been configured to support these processes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the MRP functionality has not been activated for the specified plant. This can happen if:
  
  The plant was newly created and MRP settings were not configured.
  The plant was previously set up but the MRP settings were inadvertently deactivated.
  There are missing configurations in the material master data for the relevant materials.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to activate requirements planning for the affected plant. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Plant Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG.
  Navigate to Logistics - General > Material Requirements Planning > Master Data > Define MRP Areas.
  Ensure that the plant in question is properly configured for MRP.
  
  
  
  Activate MRP for the Plant:
  
  In the same IMG path, check the settings under Logistics - General > Material Requirements Planning > MRP > Activate MRP for Plant.
  Ensure that the MRP is activated for the specific plant.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master data for the materials in question.
  Check the MRP views (e.g., MRP 1, MRP 2) to ensure that the MRP type is set correctly and that the plant is included in the material master.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Type:
  
  Ensure that the MRP type assigned to the materials is appropriate for the planning strategy you intend to use (e.g., PD for MRP, VB for consumption-based planning).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance on MRP configuration.
