• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VV014 - Configuration consumption is only poss.for planning w/o final assembly ?

  The SAP error message VV014 indicates that configuration consumption is only possible for planning without final assembly. This error typically arises in the context of variant configuration in SAP, particularly when dealing with configurable materials and their planning processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform a planning operation (like creating a sales order or production order) for a configurable material that is set up in a way that does not allow for final assembly. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Material Master Settings: The material may not be configured correctly in the material master. Specifically, the configuration settings may not allow for final assembly.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy assigned to the material may not support final assembly. For example, if the material is set up for make-to-stock (MTS) or make-to-order (MTO) without final assembly, this error can occur.
  Configuration Profile: The configuration profile for the material may not be set up to allow for final assembly.
  Sales Order Type: The sales order type being used may not be compatible with the configuration settings of the material.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the configuration settings.
  Ensure that the material is set up correctly for variant configuration and that the appropriate planning settings are in place.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Strategy:
  
  Check the planning strategy assigned to the material (transaction code OMD0).
  Ensure that the strategy allows for final assembly if that is required for your business process.
  
  
  
  Configuration Profile:
  
  Review the configuration profile assigned to the material (transaction code CU41).
  Make sure that the profile allows for final assembly and that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Sales Order Type:
  
  Verify the sales order type being used and ensure it is compatible with the material's configuration settings.
  If necessary, change the sales order type to one that supports final assembly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to variant configuration and planning to ensure that you are following best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to see if the error persists. Create a new sales order or production order to verify that the issue has been resolved.
