• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEFILT0C013 - Generation not required ?

  The SAP error message PPEFILT0C013: Generation not required typically occurs in the context of the SAP Production Planning (PP) module, particularly when dealing with the generation of production orders or planning orders. This message indicates that the system has determined that there is no need to generate a particular order or planning element based on the current data and settings.
  Causes:
  
  No Demand: There may be no demand for the product, meaning that there are no sales orders, forecasts, or other requirements that necessitate the generation of production orders.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the material master or in the planning strategy may indicate that no generation is needed at this time.
  Stock Levels: If there is sufficient stock on hand to meet current demand, the system may determine that generating additional production orders is unnecessary.
  Planning Run Settings: The settings used during the planning run (e.g., MRP run) may not require the generation of new orders based on the current situation.
  Lot Size and Safety Stock: The defined lot size or safety stock levels may be configured in such a way that no new orders are needed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Demand: Verify if there are any sales orders, forecasts, or other requirements for the product in question. If there is demand, ensure it is correctly entered in the system.
  Review Planning Parameters: Check the material master data and planning strategy to ensure that they are set up correctly. Adjust parameters if necessary.
  Analyze Stock Levels: Review the current stock levels to determine if they are sufficient to meet demand. If stock is low, consider adjusting the planning parameters or manually creating production orders.
  Adjust Planning Run Settings: If you are running MRP or other planning processes, review the settings to ensure they align with your production needs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the planning strategy and parameters that may affect order generation.
