• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM132 - Planned order & is only allowed for make-to-order production ?

  The SAP error message RM132 indicates that a planned order is being created for a production process that is set up for make-to-order (MTO) production, but the system is not allowing it. This typically occurs when the configuration or settings for the material or production process do not align with the requirements for MTO production.
  Cause:
  
  Material Master Settings: The material in question may not be configured correctly for make-to-order production. Specifically, the MRP type or the production strategy may not be set to allow planned orders for MTO.
  Production Version: The production version for the material may not be set up correctly, or it may not exist for the MTO scenario.
  Order Type: The order type being used may not be compatible with make-to-order production.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the production process or the settings in the controlling area.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the MRP views.
  Ensure that the MRP type is set to a type that supports make-to-order production (e.g., MRP type "PD" for MTO).
  Verify that the production strategy is appropriate for MTO (e.g., strategy 20 for make-to-order production).
  
  
  
  Review Production Version:
  
  Check if a valid production version exists for the material. If not, create or adjust the production version to ensure it supports MTO.
  
  
  
  Order Type Configuration:
  
  Review the order type settings in the configuration (transaction code OPL8) to ensure that it is set up for make-to-order production.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the production planning module to ensure that they align with MTO requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on MTO settings and configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the creation of the planned order again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
