• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP231 - Version controlled BOMs and routings not supported in MRP Live ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP231 indicates that version-controlled Bill of Materials (BOMs) and routings are not supported in MRP Live. This error typically arises when you are trying to run MRP (Material Requirements Planning) using the MRP Live functionality, but the system encounters version-controlled BOMs or routings, which it cannot process.
  Cause:
  
  Version-Controlled BOMs/Routings: The error occurs because MRP Live does not support BOMs or routings that have version control enabled. This means that the system cannot determine which version of the BOM or routing to use for planning.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may not be aligned with the requirements for MRP Live, particularly if versioning is being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Classic MRP: If you need to work with version-controlled BOMs or routings, consider using the classic MRP transaction (MD01, MD02, etc.) instead of MRP Live. Classic MRP can handle version-controlled BOMs and routings.
  Disable Version Control: If feasible, you can consider disabling version control for the BOMs and routings that are causing the issue. This may involve changing the configuration in the material master or BOM settings.
  Review MRP Settings: Check the MRP settings in your SAP system to ensure that they are configured correctly for your planning needs. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
  Update BOM/Routing: If you have the option, you can update the BOM or routing to remove version control or to ensure that the correct version is being used for MRP Live.
