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.
