• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG369 - Can't create planning scope with disassembly template as source structure ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VMP_MSG369 Can't create planning scope with disassembly template as source structure
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create a planning scope in SAP Variant Configuration (LO-VC) using a disassembly template as the source structure. In SAP, disassembly templates are used to break down a product into components (disassembly), but they are not valid as source structures for planning scopes.
  Key points:
  
  Planning scopes are typically created from assembly templates or production templates, not from disassembly templates.
  The system restricts the use of disassembly templates as source structures because planning scopes are meant for forward planning (assembly), whereas disassembly templates represent backward planning (disassembly).
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error:
  
  
  Use the correct source structure:
  
  When creating a planning scope, select an assembly template or a production template as the source structure.
  Avoid selecting disassembly templates as source structures for planning scopes.
  
  
  
  Check the template type:
  
  Verify the template type in the configuration.
  If you intended to create a planning scope for assembly, ensure you are not mistakenly using a disassembly template.
  
  
  
  Adjust your planning approach:
  
  If your business process requires planning for disassembly, consider alternative approaches or configurations, as standard planning scopes do not support disassembly templates.

  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to LO-VC and planning scopes for any updates or patches.
  Review SAP Variant Configuration documentation regarding planning scopes and template types.
  
  
  
  Additional considerations:
  
  Disassembly templates are primarily used in product costing and engineering change management, not in planning scopes.
  If disassembly planning is required, it might involve different SAP modules or custom developments.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  You cannot create a planning scope using a disassembly template as the source structure. Use an assembly or production template instead to avoid the VMP_MSG369 error.
