• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PIC01071 - &1 in plant &2 has MRP type &3(Time-phased plng) and is not supported ?

  The SAP error message PIC01071 indicates that there is an issue with the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) type assigned to a material in a specific plant. The error message typically states that the MRP type is not supported for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The material in question has been assigned an MRP type that is not compatible with the operation you are trying to execute (e.g., planning, procurement).
  The MRP type is set to "Time-phased planning" (often denoted as "PD" or similar), which may not be supported for certain planning processes or transactions in your SAP configuration.
  The configuration settings in the system do not allow for the use of that specific MRP type in the context of the operation being performed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check MRP Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the MRP type assigned to the material in the relevant plant.
  Ensure that the MRP type is appropriate for the planning strategy you are using.
  
  
  
  Change MRP Type:
  
  If the MRP type is indeed incompatible, consider changing it to a supported type. You can do this in the material master (transaction code MM02) under the MRP view.
  Common MRP types include:
  
  PD (MRP)
  VB (Manual Reorder Point)
  V1 (Forecast-based planning)
  
  
  Choose an MRP type that aligns with your planning requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Check the planning parameters and settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO) to ensure that the MRP type is correctly set up for the intended planning process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to MRP types and their compatibility with different planning processes.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making changes, test the planning process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
