• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NJIT_O_MSG166 - Reorder quantity for all component materials cannot be zero ?

  The SAP error message NJIT_O_MSG166, which states "Reorder quantity for all component materials cannot be zero," typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory control within SAP. This error indicates that the system has detected that the reorder quantity for one or more component materials in a bill of materials (BOM) or a production order is set to zero, which is not permissible.
  Cause:
  
  Reorder Quantity Set to Zero: The most common cause of this error is that the reorder quantity for one or more components in the BOM or production order is set to zero. This can happen due to incorrect data entry or configuration.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data for the components may not be properly maintained, leading to a situation where the reorder quantity is not defined.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the material management module that enforce a minimum reorder quantity, and if this is not met, the error will be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Component Materials: Review the component materials in the BOM or production order. Ensure that the reorder quantity for each component is set to a valid, non-zero value.
  
  Navigate to the material master (transaction code MM02) and check the relevant views (e.g., MRP view) to ensure that the reorder quantity is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Update Material Master Data: If the reorder quantity is indeed set to zero, update the material master data to specify a valid reorder quantity.
  
  Go to the material master record and update the MRP data to include a non-zero reorder quantity.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Settings: If the error occurs in the context of a BOM, check the BOM settings to ensure that all components have valid reorder quantities.
  
  Use transaction code CS02 to display and edit the BOM, ensuring that all components have appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Check MRP Settings: Review the MRP settings for the materials involved. Ensure that the planning parameters are correctly set up to avoid zero reorder quantities.
  
  Use transaction code MD02 or MD03 to run MRP and check the planning results.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your configuration or version of SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM02 (Change Material), CS02 (Change BOM), and MD02 (Single-item, single-level MRP).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional troubleshooting steps or patches.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to material master data and BOMs.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the NJIT_O_MSG166 error and ensure that all component materials have valid reorder quantities.
