• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VLSC022 - Dependent requirements ind. for individual and coll. reqmts. not set ?

  The SAP error message VLSC022 indicates that there is an issue with the dependent requirements indicator for individual and collective requirements not being set. This error typically arises in the context of materials planning and inventory management, particularly when dealing with dependent requirements in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system expects a dependent requirements indicator to be set for a material, but it is not configured correctly. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  
  Material Master Configuration: The material master record may not have the appropriate settings for dependent requirements. This includes settings in the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) views.
  
  
  MRP Type: The MRP type assigned to the material may not support dependent requirements. For example, if the MRP type is set to "ND" (No MRP), it will not generate dependent requirements.
  
  
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy assigned to the material may not be compatible with dependent requirements. Certain strategies are designed for independent requirements and do not generate dependent requirements.
  
  
  Missing BOM (Bill of Materials): If the material is a component in a BOM, and the BOM is not properly maintained or missing, the system will not be able to generate dependent requirements.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VLSC022 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Verify the MRP views and ensure that the dependent requirements indicator is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Type:
  
  Check the MRP type assigned to the material. If it is set to "ND", consider changing it to a type that supports dependent requirements (e.g., "PD" for MRP).
  
  
  
  Examine Planning Strategy:
  
  Review the planning strategy assigned to the material. Ensure it is appropriate for generating dependent requirements. For example, strategies like "20" (Make-to-Stock) or "40" (Make-to-Order) typically support dependent requirements.
  
  
  
  Check BOM:
  
  If the material is part of a BOM, ensure that the BOM is correctly maintained and active. You can check this using transaction code CS03 to display the BOM.
  
  
  
  Run MRP:
  
  After making the necessary changes, run the MRP again to see if the error persists.
