How To Fix PPEMPL101 - Recursion between PVS and MPL is possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PPEMPL -

• Message number: 101

• Message text: Recursion between PVS and MPL is possible

What causes this issue?

The system has checked whether recursions exist within the PVS and MPL
structures.
However, it is still possible that structures are recursive among
themselves or that recursions exist between MPL structures and classic
bills of material.
This should not be a problem, however, since MPL structures have a
purely documentative character, and thus have no influence on production
processes.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to ensure that no recursions exist, you must check this
manually.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEMPL101 - Recursion between PVS and MPL is possible ?

  The SAP error message PPEMPL101 indicates that there is a recursion issue between the Planning Version Structure (PVS) and the Multi-Planning Level (MPL) in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of planning scenarios where the system detects that a planning version is referencing itself, either directly or indirectly, which can lead to infinite loops in calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Circular Reference: The most common cause of this error is a circular reference in the planning versions or levels. For example, if Planning Version A references Planning Version B, and Planning Version B references Planning Version A, this creates a recursion.
  Incorrect Configuration: Misconfiguration in the planning version or planning levels can lead to unintended references that cause recursion.
  Data Model Issues: Issues in the data model or the way planning levels are defined can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Planning Versions: Check the configuration of your planning versions and ensure that there are no circular references. You can do this by reviewing the dependencies between different planning versions.
  Adjust Planning Levels: If you find that certain planning levels are referencing each other, consider restructuring them to eliminate the recursion.
  Use the Planning Version Structure: Ensure that the planning version structure is correctly defined and does not allow for recursive references.
  Testing: After making changes, test the planning process to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring planning versions and levels.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to planning versions and levels, such as /SAPAPO/PVS for planning version settings.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your technical support team for further assistance.
