• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP229 - Manufacturer Part Profile: no demand driven planning allowed ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP229 indicates that there is an issue with the Manufacturer Part Profile (MPP) settings in relation to demand-driven planning. This error typically arises when the system is configured to use demand-driven planning, but the specific part or material does not have the necessary settings or configurations to support this planning method.
  Cause:
  
  Manufacturer Part Profile Settings: The MPP for the material may not be configured to allow demand-driven planning. This can happen if the MPP is set to a mode that does not support demand-driven planning.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly set up to utilize demand-driven planning. This includes settings related to MRP type, planning strategy, and other relevant fields.
  Demand-Driven Planning Configuration: The overall configuration for demand-driven planning in the system may not be correctly set up, leading to restrictions on certain materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Manufacturer Part Profile:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) and check the Manufacturer Part Profile assigned to the material.
  Ensure that the profile allows for demand-driven planning. If it does not, you may need to create or modify the profile to enable this feature.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Verify the material master data for the specific material. Check the MRP type and planning strategy to ensure they are compatible with demand-driven planning.
  Make sure that the relevant fields are correctly filled out, particularly those related to planning and forecasting.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings for demand-driven planning in the system. This may involve checking the settings in the SPRO transaction (Customizing) under the relevant sections for MRP and demand-driven planning.
  Ensure that the necessary settings are activated and that the material is included in the demand-driven planning process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on setting up demand-driven planning and the Manufacturer Part Profile.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the material can be planned using demand-driven methods.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Demand-Driven MRP (DDMRP): This is a methodology that focuses on managing inventory and production based on actual demand rather than forecasts. It is essential to ensure that materials are correctly set up to take advantage of this planning method.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring demand-driven planning.
  Training and Support: If you are unsure about making changes, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in MRP and demand-driven planning.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message PPH_MRP229 and enable demand-driven planning for the affected material.
