• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MW175 - & &: planned qty for material & equals 0, since no max. stock maintained ?

  The SAP error message MW175 indicates that the planned quantity for a material is zero because no maximum stock level has been maintained for that material. This typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory control within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  No Maximum Stock Level Defined: The primary cause of this error is that the material in question does not have a maximum stock level set in the material master data. The system uses this value to determine how much stock should be planned.
  Planning Parameters: If the planning parameters for the material are not set correctly, it can lead to the system not generating any planned quantities.
  Material Status: The material might be set to a status that prevents it from being included in planning (e.g., blocked for procurement).
  Demand and Supply Mismatch: If there is no demand for the material or if the supply is sufficient to meet the demand, the planned quantity may also be calculated as zero.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain Maximum Stock Level:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM02).
  Navigate to the relevant views (usually the MRP or Purchasing view).
  Set a maximum stock level for the material. This will allow the system to calculate the planned quantity based on this value.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Check the MRP type and other planning parameters for the material. Ensure they are set correctly to allow for planning.
  If necessary, adjust the MRP type to one that supports planning (e.g., PD for MRP).
  
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Ensure that the material is not blocked for procurement or planning. You can check this in the material master or by using transaction code MM02.
  
  
  
  Analyze Demand and Supply:
  
  Review the demand and supply situation for the material. If there is no demand, consider whether you need to create a forecast or sales order to generate demand.
  
  
  
  Run MRP:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run the MRP process again (transaction code MD01 or MD02) to see if the planned quantity is now calculated correctly.

  Material Master Views: Ensure you are familiar with the relevant views in the material master, such as MRP, Purchasing, and Basic Data.
  MRP Types: Understand the different MRP types (e.g., PD, VB, ND) and how they affect planning.
  Stock Levels: Familiarize yourself with how maximum and minimum stock levels work in SAP and their impact on inventory management.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the MW175 error and ensure that the planned quantity for the material is calculated correctly.
