• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP157 - Reorder-point planning not supported in MRP Live on HANA ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP157 indicates that reorder-point planning is not supported in MRP Live when using SAP HANA. This error typically arises when attempting to execute MRP (Material Requirements Planning) for materials that are set up for reorder-point planning, which is not compatible with the MRP Live functionality.
  Cause:
  
  Reorder-Point Planning: The error occurs because MRP Live does not support reorder-point planning. MRP Live is designed to work with forecast-based planning and other planning strategies that are compatible with its processing model.
  Material Master Settings: The materials in question may be configured for reorder-point planning in the material master, which is incompatible with MRP Live.
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the materials may be set to a type that is not supported by MRP Live (e.g., "V1" for reorder-point planning).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Change MRP Type:
  
  If feasible, change the MRP type of the affected materials to a type that is compatible with MRP Live (e.g., "PD" for demand-based planning).
  This can be done in the material master record (transaction code MM02).
  
  
  
  Use Classic MRP:
  
  If you need to continue using reorder-point planning, you can run the classic MRP instead of MRP Live. This can be done using transaction code MD01 or MD02, which will allow you to process materials with reorder-point planning.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Strategy:
  
  Evaluate the planning strategy used for the materials. If reorder-point planning is not essential, consider switching to a different strategy that is compatible with MRP Live.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation and notes related to MRP Live and reorder-point planning for any updates or specific configurations that may be required.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MRP Live: MRP Live is a new planning engine introduced in SAP S/4HANA that leverages the capabilities of the HANA database for faster processing and real-time planning.
  Material Master: The material master is a central repository of information related to materials, including planning parameters, which can affect how MRP is executed.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates regarding this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the PPH_MRP157 error and ensure that your MRP processes run smoothly.
