• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PIC01128 - MRP type for material & is not relevant for planning ?

  The SAP error message PIC01128 indicates that the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) type for a specific material is not relevant for planning. This typically means that the material is set up in a way that it will not be considered in the MRP process, which can be due to various reasons.
  Causes:
  
  MRP Type Configuration: The material may have been assigned an MRP type that does not allow for planning, such as "ND" (No MRP) or "P1" (Planning with no MRP).
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have settings that exclude it from MRP, such as the planning indicator being set to "not relevant for planning."
  Plant Settings: The plant settings for the material may also indicate that it is not relevant for planning.
  Status of the Material: The material could be flagged as inactive or obsolete, which would prevent it from being included in planning runs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check MRP Type: Review the MRP type assigned to the material in the material master record. If it is set to a type that does not allow planning, consider changing it to a relevant MRP type (e.g., "PD" for MRP).
  
  Transaction Code: MM02 (Change Material)
  Navigate to the MRP view and check the MRP type.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings: Ensure that the material is set up correctly in the material master. Check the planning indicator and ensure it is set to allow for planning.
  
  
  Check Plant Data: Verify the plant-specific data for the material to ensure that it is not set to be excluded from planning.
  
  Transaction Code: MM02 (Change Material)
  Check the plant-specific MRP data.
  
  
  
  Activate Material: If the material is inactive, you may need to reactivate it or change its status to make it relevant for planning.
  
  
  Consult with a Functional Consultant: If you are unsure about the changes or the implications of changing the MRP type, consult with an SAP functional consultant or a colleague with expertise in MRP settings.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MRP Types: Familiarize yourself with the different MRP types available in SAP and their implications for planning.
  Material Master Views: Understand the different views in the material master and how they affect MRP.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed explanations of MRP types and material planning settings.

  MM03: Display Material
  MD01: MRP Run
