• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPMP/PP_SFC013 - Auto replacement not possible; no pool member available f. &1 to &2 &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPMP/PP_SFC013 indicates that an automatic replacement is not possible because there are no available pool members for the specified components or materials. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with production orders, process orders, or similar scenarios where components are being managed.
  Cause:
  
  No Available Stock: The primary cause of this error is that there are no available stock or pool members for the specified components. This could be due to stock being depleted, reserved for other orders, or not yet produced.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material or the production process may not allow for automatic replacement. This could be due to settings in the material master or production order.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, there may be restrictions on which batches can be used for replacement.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters may not be set correctly, leading to a situation where the system cannot find suitable replacements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the stock levels of the components involved. Ensure that there is sufficient stock available for the production order.
  Review Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the components to ensure that they are configured correctly for automatic replacement. Look for settings related to availability check, replacement strategies, and batch management.
  Adjust Production Order: If the production order is not flexible, consider adjusting it to allow for manual replacement or to use alternative components.
  Check for Reservations: Ensure that the components are not reserved for other production orders or processes that would prevent their use.
  Batch Selection: If batch management is in use, ensure that the batches available meet the criteria for replacement.
  Consult with Planning Team: If the issue persists, consult with the production planning team to review the planning parameters and strategies in place.
