• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP211 - MRP Live on HANA does not support VC change of BOM item field: &1 ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP211 indicates that there is an issue with the MRP Live functionality in SAP S/4HANA when it comes to handling variant configuration (VC) changes for a Bill of Materials (BOM) item. Specifically, this error arises when there is an attempt to change a field in a BOM item that is not supported by the MRP Live process.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Unsupported Changes: MRP Live on HANA does not support certain changes to BOM items that are related to variant configuration. This could include changes to fields that are critical for MRP processing.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the BOM is configured, especially if it involves variant configuration settings that are not compatible with MRP Live.
  Data Integrity: The data being processed may not meet the requirements for MRP Live, leading to this error when attempting to execute MRP runs.
