This can occur for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue. Below are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information regarding this error message.
  Causes of PPH_MRP017
  
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents it from being planned. For example, if the material is blocked for planning or has a status that restricts its use in MRP.
  
  
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may not be compatible with MRP Live. For instance, materials with certain MRP types (like "ND" for no planning) will not be included in MRP Live.
  
  
  Planning File Entry: The planning file entry for the material may not exist or may have been deleted. MRP Live relies on planning file entries to determine which materials need to be planned.
  
  
  MRP Group Settings: The MRP group assigned to the material may have settings that exclude it from MRP Live processing.
  
  
  Lot Size Settings: If the lot size settings are not appropriate, it may lead to the material being excluded from planning.
  
  
  Special Procurement Types: Materials with special procurement types (like external procurement) may not be planned in the same way as standard materials.
  
  
  Customizing Settings: There may be specific customizing settings in the system that affect how materials are planned.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Material Status: Review the material status in the material master (MM02) and ensure it is set to allow planning.
  
  
  Review MRP Type: Verify the MRP type assigned to the material. If it is set to a type that does not allow planning, consider changing it to a suitable MRP type.
  
  
  Check Planning File Entry: Use transaction code MD21 to check the planning file entries for the material. If the entry is missing, you may need to run MRP for the material to create it.
  
  
  Examine MRP Group Settings: Review the settings for the MRP group assigned to the material. Ensure that it is configured to allow MRP Live processing.
  
  
  Adjust Lot Size Settings: Check the lot size settings in the material master and adjust them if necessary to ensure they are appropriate for MRP Live.
  
  
  Review Special Procurement Types: If the material has a special procurement type, ensure that it is set up correctly and that it aligns with your planning strategy.
  
  
  Consult Customizing Settings: Review the customizing settings related to MRP Live in the SPRO transaction. Ensure that all necessary configurations are in place.
  
  
  Related Information
