• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP109 - Number of selected material-plant combinations: &1 (MRP Live on HANA) ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP109 typically indicates that the number of selected material-plant combinations for a Material Requirements Planning (MRP) run exceeds the system's limits. This can occur when you are trying to process a large number of materials in a single MRP run, especially when using MRP Live on HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Limits: The error is triggered when the number of material-plant combinations exceeds the predefined limit set in the system. This limit is often configured to prevent performance issues during MRP runs.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific settings that restrict the number of materials that can be processed in one go.
  Data Volume: A large volume of data being processed can lead to this error, especially if the MRP run is not optimized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reduce Selection: Try to reduce the number of material-plant combinations selected for the MRP run. You can do this by:
  
  Filtering the selection criteria to include fewer materials or plants.
  Running MRP for specific materials or groups of materials instead of all at once.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing: If you have a large number of materials, consider breaking the MRP run into smaller batches. This can help you stay within the limits set by the system.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to MRP in your SAP system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to adjust the limits if necessary.
  
  
  Performance Optimization: Ensure that your MRP process is optimized. This may involve:
  
  Analyzing the MRP parameters and settings.
  Ensuring that the database is well-maintained and optimized for performance.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for MRP Live on HANA. You can search the SAP Support Portal for updates or patches that may resolve the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MRP Live: MRP Live is a new MRP processing engine that leverages the capabilities of SAP HANA for faster processing. It is designed to handle large volumes of data more efficiently than the traditional MRP.
  SAP HANA: As a high-performance in-memory database, SAP HANA can significantly improve the speed of data processing, but it also requires proper configuration and management to handle large datasets effectively.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MD01 (MRP Run) and MD02 (MRP Run for Single Item) to manage MRP processes effectively.
