• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN085 - Requirements are not checked with manual create ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN085 - Requirements are not checked with manual create
  
  Cause:
  The error message VN085 occurs when you try to manually create a purchase requisition (or a related document) in SAP, but the system detects that the requirements (demand) are not being checked or updated properly. This usually happens because the system expects requirements to be checked or updated automatically during the creation process, but in this case, the manual creation bypasses or misses this step.
  More specifically, this error is often related to the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or Inventory Management settings where the system expects requirements to be checked or updated to ensure consistency in stock/requirements planning.
  Common causes include:
  
  The material master settings for MRP or procurement type are not consistent.
  The manual creation process does not trigger the requirements update.
  Customizing settings in MRP or procurement are incomplete or incorrect.
  The system expects requirements to be checked but the transaction or user action does not perform this check.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VN085 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Verify the MRP type (MRP1 view) and procurement type (MRP2 view) in the material master.
  Ensure that the material is set up correctly for requirements planning and procurement.
  
  
  
  Review MRP and Procurement Customizing:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Consumption-Based Planning or MRP ? Check settings related to requirements checking.
  Ensure that the system is configured to allow manual creation of requirements or purchase requisitions without violating consistency checks.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction or Process:
  
  Instead of manual creation that bypasses requirements checking, use standard SAP transactions that automatically update requirements.
  For example, use ME51N (Create Purchase Requisition) which properly updates requirements.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If there are custom user exits or BAdIs implemented, verify that they do not interfere with requirements checking during manual creation.
  
  
  
  Run MRP or Recalculate Requirements:
  
  After manual creation, run MRP (MD01/MD02) to update requirements and stock levels.
  This can help synchronize the system and avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to VN085 for any patches or known issues.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:

  MAST – Material to BOM Link
  MRP related tables like MDVM, MDTB
  
  
  
  SAP Modules:
  
  MM (Materials Management)
  PP (Production Planning)
  MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Support Portal for notes on VN085.
  Review SAP Help Portal for MRP and Purchase Requisition creation processes.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The VN085 error indicates that requirements are not being checked or updated during manual creation of purchase requisitions or related documents. The solution involves verifying material master settings, ensuring proper MRP and procurement configuration, using standard SAP transactions that handle requirements checking, and running MRP to update requirements. If customization is involved, review enhancements that might affect requirements checking.
