  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Invalid Procurement Type: The procurement type for the specified product, plant, and MRP area is not valid. This could be due to incorrect configuration or missing settings in the material master.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the product in question (transaction code MM03).
  Verify the procurement type in the MRP view. Ensure that it is set to a valid value (e.g., 'E' for in-house production, 'F' for external procurement, etc.).
