  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP147 - Material status prevents usage in MRP ?

    The SAP error message PPH_MRP147, which states "Material status prevents usage in MRP," indicates that the material you are trying to use in the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process has a status that restricts its availability for planning. This can occur due to various reasons related to the material's configuration or status settings.

    Causes:

    1. Material Status: The material may have a status that restricts its use in MRP, such as "Blocked," "Inactive," or a custom status that has been defined to prevent planning.
    2. MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may not allow it to be included in MRP runs.
    3. Plant-Specific Settings: The material may have plant-specific settings that restrict its use in MRP for a particular plant.
    4. Special Procurement Types: If the material is set up with special procurement types (like consignment or subcontracting), it may not be included in MRP.
    5. User Exits or Custom Logic: Custom logic or user exits may be implemented that restrict the material from being included in MRP.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Material Status:

      • Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the "Basic Data" and "MRP" views for the material status.
      • If the status is set to "Blocked" or "Inactive," you may need to change it to "Active" or an appropriate status that allows MRP usage.
    2. Review MRP Type:

      • Check the MRP type assigned to the material in the MRP view of the material master. Ensure it is set to a type that allows MRP processing (e.g., PD for MRP).
    3. Plant-Specific Settings:

      • Verify if there are any plant-specific settings that might be affecting the material's availability for MRP. This can be checked in the plant-specific views of the material master.
    4. Adjust Special Procurement Types:

      • If the material is set up with a special procurement type, review the settings to ensure they are appropriate for MRP processing.
    5. Consult with Technical Team:

      • If there are custom developments or user exits that might be affecting the material's status, consult with your technical team to review and adjust the logic as necessary.
    6. Re-run MRP:

      • After making the necessary changes, re-run the MRP process to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
