• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP162 - Only strategy group blank and '10' supported in MRP Live on HANA ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP162 indicates that there is an issue with the strategy group settings in the context of MRP (Material Requirements Planning) Live on HANA. Specifically, it states that only the strategy group blank and '10' (which typically refers to the "Make to Stock" strategy) are supported in MRP Live.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the MRP Live process encounters a strategy group that is not supported. In MRP Live, only the following strategy groups are allowed:
  
  Blank (which usually means no specific strategy is assigned)
  '10' (Make to Stock)
  
  If your material master data has a different strategy group assigned (for example, '20' for Make to Order, or any other custom strategy), MRP Live will not be able to process it, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master data for the affected materials and check the strategy group assigned.
  You can do this using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and navigating to the MRP view.
  
  
  
  Change Strategy Group:
  
  If the strategy group is not supported, you may need to change it to either blank or '10'. This can be done using transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
  Ensure that changing the strategy group aligns with your business processes and requirements.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Settings:
  
  If you have a specific requirement for a different strategy group, consider whether you can adjust your MRP settings or processes to accommodate the supported strategy groups.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to MRP Live and strategy groups for any additional guidance or best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run the MRP Live process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
