• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM031 - Dependent requirements for material & / production version & not adjusted ?

  The SAP error message RM031 indicates that there are dependent requirements for a material and production version that have not been adjusted. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when there are discrepancies between the planned orders and the actual requirements.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unadjusted Dependent Requirements: This error usually arises when dependent requirements (such as those generated from a parent item to its components) are not aligned with the current planning situation. This can happen due to changes in production orders, changes in demand, or changes in the production version.
  
  
  Production Version Issues: If the production version is not correctly defined or if there are inconsistencies in the master data, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Changes in Demand: If there are changes in the demand for the finished product that are not reflected in the dependent requirements, it can cause this error.
  
  
  MRP Run Issues: If the MRP run has not been executed properly or if there are errors during the MRP run, it can lead to unadjusted dependent requirements.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Production Version: Ensure that the production version for the material is correctly defined and that it matches the requirements. You can do this by navigating to the material master and checking the production version settings.
  
  
  Re-run MRP: Execute the MRP run again for the relevant materials. This can help in adjusting the dependent requirements based on the latest demand and supply situation.
  
  
  Adjust Requirements Manually: If necessary, you can manually adjust the dependent requirements in the system. This can be done through transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to view and adjust the requirements.
  
  
  Check for Changes in Demand: Review any recent changes in demand or production orders that may not have been accounted for. Ensure that all changes are reflected in the system.
  
  
  Analyze MRP Logs: Check the MRP logs for any errors or warnings that may provide additional context on why the dependent requirements are not adjusted.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling RM031 errors, as there may be additional steps or considerations based on your specific SAP configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), MD02 (MRP Run), and COHV (Mass Processing of Production Orders).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to RM031. SAP Notes can provide insights into specific bugs or enhancements that may affect this error.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, providing insights or solutions from other users' experiences.
