• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP140 - MRP type is "No MRP" ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP140 indicates that the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) type for a specific material is set to "No MRP." This means that the material is not subject to MRP processes, and as a result, the system cannot perform MRP calculations for that material.
  Cause:
  
  
  MRP Type Configuration: The material has been assigned an MRP type that indicates it should not be included in MRP calculations. Common MRP types that indicate "No MRP" include:
  
  ND (No MRP)
  N1 (No MRP for planning)
  
  
  
  Material Master Settings: The settings in the material master record may have been configured incorrectly or intentionally set to avoid MRP processing.
  
  
  Business Requirements: Sometimes, materials are intentionally set to "No MRP" because they are not needed for planning purposes, such as non-stock items or materials that are managed differently.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the MRP views (MRP 1, MRP 2, etc.) to confirm the MRP type assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Change MRP Type:
  
  If the material should be included in MRP, change the MRP type to an appropriate one (e.g., PD for MRP, VB for consumption-based planning).
  This can be done using transaction code MM02 (Change Material) and updating the MRP type in the relevant view.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Stakeholders:
  
  Before making changes, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., production, inventory management) to ensure that the change aligns with business processes and requirements.
  
  
  
  Re-run MRP:
  
  After changing the MRP type, re-run the MRP process to see if the material is now included in the planning run.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MRP Types: Familiarize yourself with different MRP types and their implications. Each type has specific settings that determine how the material is planned.
  MRP Configuration: Understanding the overall MRP configuration in your SAP system can help in troubleshooting similar issues in the future.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed explanations of MRP types and their configurations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message PPH_MRP140 and ensure that the material is appropriately included in MRP processes if required.
