• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMRP_TRANSFER009 - Limitations for inactive PIR versions missing ?

  The SAP error message PMRP_TRANSFER009, which states "Limitations for inactive PIR versions missing," typically occurs in the context of the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process. This error is related to the planning information records (PIR) for materials, particularly when there are inactive versions of PIRs that do not have the necessary limitations defined.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive PIR Versions: The error indicates that there are inactive versions of the PIR for a material that do not have the required limitations set up. This can happen if the PIR was created or modified but not properly configured for inactive versions.
  Missing Data: The system expects certain data to be present for inactive PIR versions, such as lead times, order quantities, or other planning parameters, which may not be defined.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the MRP settings or in the way PIRs are managed in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check PIR Versions: Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) and check the PIR for the relevant material. Ensure that all necessary data is filled in for both active and inactive versions.
  Activate PIR Versions: If there are inactive versions that are not needed, consider activating them if they are relevant, or delete them if they are not required.
  Define Limitations: Ensure that limitations for inactive PIR versions are defined correctly. This may involve setting up the necessary parameters in the PIR for each version.
  Review MRP Configuration: Check the MRP configuration settings in the system to ensure that they are set up correctly to handle PIRs and their versions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing PIRs and MRP settings.
