• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMMO_PEGGING201 - Production order &1 stopped; material is missing ?

  The SAP error message PMMO_PEGGING201 indicates that a production order has been stopped due to a missing material. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and execution when the system cannot find the required materials to proceed with the production order.
  Cause:
  
  Material Shortage: The most common cause is that the required material for the production order is not available in stock.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material may not be correctly defined in the material master, leading to issues in availability checks.
  Incorrect BOM (Bill of Materials): The BOM for the production order may not include the correct components or may reference materials that are not available.
  Planning Issues: The production planning process may not have accounted for the required materials, leading to shortages.
  Stock Transfer Issues: If materials are in transit or reserved for other orders, they may not be available for the current production order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Availability: Use transaction code MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to check the availability of the required materials. Ensure that the materials are in stock and available for use.
  Review Production Order: Check the production order details (transaction code CO03) to verify the components listed in the BOM and ensure they are correct.
  Adjust Inventory: If materials are missing, consider adjusting inventory levels by:
  
  Creating a purchase order for the missing materials.
  Transferring stock from other locations if possible.
  Checking for any stock in transit that can be expedited.
  
  
  Update BOM: If the BOM is incorrect, update it to reflect the correct components and quantities needed for the production order.
  Run MRP: If the issue is related to planning, run the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process to ensure that all materials are planned correctly for future production orders.
  Check for Reservations: Ensure that the materials are not reserved for other production orders or processes that would prevent their use.
