  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_DSD_01039 - Material &1 could not be selected ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W_DSD_01039 Material &1 could not be selected


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Demand-Driven Replenishment (DDR) or Demand-Driven MRP (DDMRP) processes. The message indicates that the system was unable to select or process the specified material (&1 is a placeholder for the material number) during a planning or replenishment run.

    Common causes include:

    • The material is not maintained or active in the relevant planning area or planning version.
    • The material is not included in the planning scope (e.g., not flagged for DDR or DDMRP).
    • Missing or incorrect master data settings such as MRP type, MRP controller, or planning parameters.
    • The material is excluded by selection criteria in the planning run (e.g., plant, MRP area, or product group).
    • The material is locked or flagged in a way that prevents selection.
    • Inconsistent or missing demand-driven parameters (e.g., buffer profiles, decoupling points).

    Solution:

    To resolve the error, perform the following checks and actions:

    1. Verify Material Master Data:

      • Check if the material is correctly maintained in the Material Master (MM03).
      • Ensure the material has the correct MRP type and is relevant for DDR/DDMRP.
      • Confirm the material is assigned to the correct plant and MRP area.
    2. Check Planning Area and Version:

      • Confirm the material is included in the planning area used for DDR/DDMRP.
      • Verify the planning version and selection criteria include the material.
    3. Review Demand-Driven Parameters:

      • Check if the material has a valid buffer profile and decoupling point assigned.
      • Ensure all demand-driven parameters are maintained correctly in the Demand-Driven Replenishment cockpit or relevant customizing.
    4. Check Selection Criteria in Planning Run:

      • Review the selection parameters used in the planning run (e.g., plant, MRP area, product group).
      • Make sure the material is not excluded by any filters.
    5. Check for Locks or Flags:

      • Verify if the material is locked or flagged in a way that prevents planning.
      • Remove any locks or flags if necessary.
    6. Run Planning Again:

      • After corrections, rerun the planning or replenishment process.

    • SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Check SAP Notes related to DDR/DDMRP for your SAP version.
      • Refer to SAP Help Portal for Demand-Driven MRP configuration and troubleshooting.

    If the problem persists after these checks, consider enabling detailed logging or debugging the planning run to identify why the material is excluded or not selected. Also, consult with your SAP support team or open a message with SAP Support for further assistance.
