  Error Message
  W_DFE003:
  
  Replenishment data (WRPL, WRPT) for customer &1 cannot be changed
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs when you try to change replenishment data (fields WRPL or WRPT) for a customer in the system, but the system does not allow the change because the replenishment data is already being used or is locked due to existing dependent data or processes.
  
  WRPL and WRPT are fields related to replenishment data in the customer master or related master data.
  The system restricts changes to these fields if the replenishment data is already assigned or linked to existing documents or processes (e.g., delivery schedules, planning data).
  This is a safeguard to prevent inconsistencies in planning and replenishment processes.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you attempt to change replenishment data for a customer who already has dependent planning or replenishment documents.
  When the replenishment data is referenced in planning runs or delivery schedules.
  When the system detects that changing this data could lead to inconsistencies in supply chain or logistics processes.
  
  
  Solution / How to resolve
  
  
  Check dependent documents or data:
  
  Verify if there are existing delivery schedules, planning data, or replenishment documents linked to the customer.
  Use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), MD06 (Collective Display of Planned Orders), or check customer master data.
  
  
  
  Remove or adjust dependent data:
  
  If possible, delete or adjust the dependent documents that reference the replenishment data.
  This might involve deleting delivery schedules or planned orders that are linked to the customer.
  
  
  
  Use correct procedure to change replenishment data:
  
  Sometimes, replenishment data can only be changed via specific transactions or after certain conditions are met.
  Consult your logistics or supply chain team to understand the correct process.
