How To Fix PIC01117 - The MPN-MRP sets for materials &1 and &2 have not been created

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PIC01 - Parts Interchangeability Message Class

• Message number: 117

• Message text: The MPN-MRP sets for materials &1 and &2 have not been created

What causes this issue?

In item &V4& of purchasing document &V3&, material &V1& should be
replaced by material &V2&. This is not possible, as the corresponding
MPN MRP-set could not be determined for either material &V1& or
material &V2&. However, material &V1& is assigned to a MPN MRP-set.
Possible reasons are: one or both materials are assigned to several MPN
MRP-sets (with active MRP area). However, the MRP area or storage
location is not specified, or the MPN MRP-set cannot be determined
because the plant has not been specified.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PIC01117 - The MPN-MRP sets for materials &1 and &2 have not been created ?

  The SAP error message PIC01117 indicates that the MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) MRP (Material Requirements Planning) settings for the specified materials have not been created. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to perform MRP-related activities for materials that are linked to a manufacturer part number, but the necessary MPN-MRP settings are missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing MPN-MRP Data: The MPN-MRP settings for the materials in question have not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The materials may not be properly configured to use MPNs, or the MPN settings may not have been maintained correctly.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master records for the specified materials may not have the required MPN data filled in.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create MPN-MRP Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM01 (Create Material) to maintain the material master data.
  Navigate to the relevant views (usually the MRP or Purchasing views) and ensure that the MPN data is correctly entered.
  Ensure that the MPN-MRP settings are created for both materials involved in the error.
  
  
  
  Check MPN Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code MPN1 to create or maintain MPN settings.
  Ensure that the MPN-MRP settings are correctly defined for the materials in question.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master records for both materials to ensure that they are set up correctly and that all necessary fields related to MPN and MRP are filled out.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific settings required, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance on MPN and MRP configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MM01: Create Material
  MM02: Change Material
  MPN1: Maintain MPN Data
  
  
  MPN Configuration: Ensure that the MPN is linked to the correct vendor and that the vendor's material number is correctly mapped to the MPN.
  MRP Settings: Review the MRP settings for the materials to ensure they are appropriate for your planning requirements.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message PIC01117 and ensure that the MPN-MRP settings are correctly established for the materials involved.
