How To Fix VQ280 - No consumption intervals have been maintained.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VQ - SD Archiving and Product Allocation

• Message number: 280

• Message text: No consumption intervals have been maintained.

What causes this issue?

No consumption intervals are entered in maintenance view V_T190V for
info structure &v1&.

System Response

During the check against product allocations with the cumulative
method, you can define consumption intervals that describe how many
periods are available for the check from before and after the checking
time.
If no intervals are defined, then all periods (before and after) are
used for the current check.

How to fix this error?

The consumption intervals are defined per info structure in maintenance
view V_T190V.
The product allocation check is speeded up if the consumption period is
restricted.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VQ280 - No consumption intervals have been maintained. ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VQ280 - No consumption intervals have been maintained:
  
  Error Message
  VQ280: No consumption intervals have been maintained
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when the system tries to perform a consumption-related process (such as consumption-based planning, material consumption analysis, or consumption data evaluation), but it cannot find any defined consumption intervals for the material or the relevant consumption data.
  Consumption intervals define the time periods over which consumption data is collected and evaluated. If these intervals are not maintained or set up properly, the system cannot determine the consumption quantities, leading to this error.
  
  Where It Occurs
  
  Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or Consumption-Based Planning (CBP)
  Consumption data analysis or evaluation reports
  Forecasting or planning runs that depend on consumption data
  When using transaction codes or functions related to consumption intervals (e.g., in the material master or planning parameters)
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Maintain Consumption Intervals:
  
  Go to the material master record (MM02) and check the MRP 2 view.
  Verify if the Consumption Mode and Consumption Periods are maintained.
  Consumption Mode can be:
  
  0 = No consumption
  1 = Period consumption
  2 = Total consumption
  
  
  Consumption Periods define the number of past periods the system should consider for consumption evaluation.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Parameters:
  
  In Customizing (SPRO), check the settings for consumption intervals under:
  
  Logistics ? Production ? Material Requirements Planning ? Consumption-Based Planning ? Define Consumption Periods
  
  
  Ensure that the consumption intervals are defined and assigned correctly.
  
  
  
  Maintain Consumption Data:
  
  Ensure that consumption data exists for the material in the relevant periods.
  If consumption data is missing, the system cannot calculate consumption intervals.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Verify that the material is flagged for consumption-based planning.
  Check if the material is relevant for MRP and consumption evaluation.
  
  
  
  Run MRP or Consumption Evaluation Again:
  
  After maintaining the intervals and data, rerun the planning or evaluation process.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MM02: Change Material Master (to maintain consumption intervals)
  MD04: Stock/Requirements List (to check consumption data)
  MD61/MD62: Create/Change Planned Independent Requirements (related to planning)
  SPRO: Customizing for consumption intervals

  Summary
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  No consumption intervals defined or maintained for the material or planning scenario.
  
  
  Effect
  System cannot evaluate consumption data, leading to error VQ280.
  
  
  Solution
  Maintain consumption intervals in material master and customizing; ensure consumption data exists.
  
  
  Where to Check
  Material Master (MRP 2 view), Customizing (SPRO), Consumption data tables.
