  The SAP error message PPC1PR003 indicates that a specific material (denoted as &1) must be excluded from MRP (Material Requirements Planning) planning for a specific MRP area (denoted as &2). This error typically arises when there are settings or configurations that prevent the material from being included in the MRP process for that particular area.
  Cause:
  
  MRP Area Configuration: The material may be configured in such a way that it is excluded from MRP planning for the specified MRP area. This could be due to settings in the material master or MRP area master data.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy assigned to the material may not allow it to be planned in the specified MRP area.
  Stock Type: The stock type of the material (e.g., blocked stock, quality inspection stock) may also affect its inclusion in MRP planning.
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may indicate that it should not be planned in that area.
