• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PIC01210 - & is a non-leading part in plant &; instead plan material & ?

  The SAP error message PIC01210 typically indicates an issue related to the planning of materials in the system, specifically when dealing with non-leading parts in a plant. This error can arise in various scenarios, particularly in production planning and material requirements planning (MRP).
  Cause:
  
  Non-Leading Part: The error suggests that the system is trying to plan a non-leading part (a part that is not the primary or main component in a bill of materials) instead of a leading part (the main component). This can happen if the configuration or master data is not set up correctly.
  Material Master Data: The material master data for the non-leading part may not be correctly configured, leading to issues in planning.
  Planning Parameters: Incorrect planning parameters or settings in the MRP configuration can also lead to this error.
  Bill of Materials (BOM): If the BOM is not correctly defined or if the non-leading part is not properly linked to the leading part, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data for both the leading and non-leading parts is correctly configured. Verify that the relevant views (like MRP, Basic Data, etc.) are properly maintained.
  Review BOM Configuration: Check the BOM to ensure that the non-leading part is correctly associated with the leading part. Make sure that the BOM is valid and active.
  MRP Settings: Review the MRP settings in the configuration. Ensure that the planning parameters are set correctly for both leading and non-leading parts.
  Use Leading Part for Planning: If the planning process requires a leading part, ensure that the planning is initiated with the leading part instead of the non-leading part.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details related to the error message and its context.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), CS03 (Display BOM), or MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to investigate the material and BOM details.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the relevant data in SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and material management.
