  Error Message
  W_DFE023: Additional check of planning methods for MRP type
  
  Cause
  This warning message occurs during the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) run or when maintaining material master data, specifically related to the combination of MRP type and planning method settings.
  
  The system performs an additional check to ensure that the planning method assigned to a material is consistent and valid for the selected MRP type.
  If the planning method assigned to the material is not compatible or not allowed for the MRP type, this warning is triggered.
  This often happens when custom or non-standard planning methods are used, or when the MRP type is changed without adjusting the planning method accordingly.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  MRP Type controls how the material is planned (e.g., PD - MRP, VB - Manual reorder point planning, etc.).
  Planning Method (field in MRP 3 view of material master) defines the specific planning approach (e.g., consumption-based planning, reorder point planning, forecast-based planning).
  SAP has predefined valid combinations of MRP types and planning methods.
  The system checks these combinations to avoid inconsistent or invalid planning setups.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Navigate to the MRP 3 view.
  Verify the Planning Method field.
  Verify the MRP Type field in the MRP 1 view.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Method or MRP Type:
  
  Ensure that the planning method is valid for the selected MRP type.
  Refer to SAP documentation or your system configuration to find allowed combinations.
  For example, if MRP type is set to PD (MRP), the planning method should be compatible with MRP processing.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? Logistics ? Production ? Material Requirements Planning ? Check Planning Methods for MRP Types.
  Verify or adjust the allowed planning methods for each MRP type.
  If necessary, update the customizing to allow the planning method for the MRP type or correct the material master data.
  
  
  
  Run MRP again:
  
  After correcting the data, run MRP again to confirm the warning no longer appears.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This message is a warning, not an error, so it does not stop the MRP run but indicates a potential inconsistency.
  Ignoring this warning may lead to incorrect planning results.
  Common planning methods include:
  
  01 = Consumption-based planning
  02 = Reorder point planning
  03 = Forecast-based planning
  etc.
  
  
  The valid combinations depend on your SAP system version and configuration.
