• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM134 - Planned order & only allowed for long-term planning ?

  The SAP error message RM134, which states "Planned order & only allowed for long-term planning," typically occurs when there is an attempt to create or process a planned order in a scenario where it is not permitted, particularly outside of long-term planning (LTP) settings.
  Cause:
  
  Planning Strategy: The error often arises when the planning strategy for the material is set in such a way that it does not allow for planned orders to be created outside of long-term planning.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the material master or the planning parameters may not be set to allow planned orders for the current planning horizon.
  Planning Version: The version of the planning run being used may not support planned orders, especially if it is set to a version that is not configured for long-term planning.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Strategy: Review the planning strategy assigned to the material in the material master (transaction MM03). Ensure that it is compatible with planned orders.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If necessary, adjust the planning parameters in the configuration settings (transaction SPRO) to allow for planned orders in the desired planning horizon.
  Use Long-Term Planning: If the business process requires planned orders, ensure that you are using the long-term planning functionality. This may involve running the LTP planning run (transaction MD61 or MD02) to generate planned orders.
  Review Planning Version: Check the planning version being used in the planning run. Ensure that it is set up to allow for planned orders and is configured correctly for long-term planning.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to your version of SAP and the specific planning scenario.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 (Display Material), MD61 (Create Planning), and SPRO (Customizing).
