• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP414 - Only classic MRP can handle APO relevant materials ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP414 indicates that the system is unable to process certain materials using Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) because they are classified as APO-relevant materials. This error typically arises when you attempt to run a planning run (like MRP) that is not compatible with APO-relevant materials.
  Cause:
  
  Material Classification: The materials in question are classified as APO-relevant, meaning they are intended to be planned using APO rather than the classic MRP functionality.
  Planning Run Type: The planning run you are trying to execute is set up for classic MRP, which does not support APO-relevant materials.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the planning strategy for APO-relevant materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use APO Planning: If the materials are APO-relevant, you should use the APO planning functions instead of classic MRP. This may involve using transaction codes related to APO, such as /SAPAPO/MDP for planning runs.
  Check Material Master Settings: Review the material master records for the affected materials to ensure they are correctly set up for APO planning. Check the MRP type and planning strategy.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If you need to run classic MRP for some reason, you may need to change the classification of the materials or adjust the planning parameters to exclude APO-relevant materials from the classic MRP run.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to handle APO-relevant materials and the appropriate planning processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  APO vs. Classic MRP: Understand the differences between APO and classic MRP. APO is designed for more complex planning scenarios and offers advanced features like demand planning, supply network planning, and production planning.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for APO, such as /SAPAPO/MDP for planning runs, /SAPAPO/SDP94 for demand planning, etc.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may resolve the issue.
  Training and Support: If you are not familiar with APO, consider training or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in APO to ensure proper handling of planning processes.
