• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP180 - Share of safety stock for planning not supported in MRP Live on HANA ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP180 indicates that the share of safety stock for planning is not supported in MRP Live on HANA. This error typically arises when you are trying to use safety stock settings that are not compatible with the MRP Live functionality in SAP S/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Safety Stock Configuration: The configuration for safety stock in the material master or in the planning settings may not be compatible with MRP Live. MRP Live has certain limitations and does not support all features available in the traditional MRP.
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may not be set up to handle safety stock in the way you are attempting to use it.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be correctly set, leading to this error when MRP Live tries to process the safety stock.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Material Master Settings: Check the material master settings for the affected materials. Ensure that the safety stock settings are appropriate and compatible with MRP Live.
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the MRP views.
  Look specifically at the safety stock settings and ensure they are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Change MRP Type: If the current MRP type does not support safety stock, consider changing it to one that does. For example, MRP types like "PD" (MRP) or "VB" (Consumption-based planning) may be more suitable.
  
  
  Use Classic MRP: If safety stock is critical for your planning process and cannot be configured to work with MRP Live, consider switching back to the classic MRP (transaction code MD01) for those materials.
  
  
  Check Planning Parameters: Review the planning parameters in the MRP settings (transaction code OMD0) to ensure they are set correctly for the materials in question.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional guidance or updates regarding the use of safety stock with MRP Live. SAP frequently updates its software, and there may be new features or fixes available.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MRP Live: MRP Live is a new planning engine introduced in SAP S/4HANA that offers improved performance and capabilities compared to the traditional MRP. However, it has certain limitations, and not all features from the classic MRP are supported.
  Safety Stock: Safety stock is an inventory buffer that helps to prevent stockouts due to variability in demand or supply. Proper configuration is essential for effective inventory management.
  SAP Community and Forums: Engaging with the SAP Community or forums can provide insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues and found solutions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your MRP planning process functions smoothly.
