• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC151 - Planned material of category display is not supported ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRF_APC151: Planned material of category display is not supported
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically within the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) modules. The message indicates that the system encountered a planned material with a material category that is set to "display" (i.e., a material that is flagged as display-only and not meant for planning or procurement activities).
  In SAP ERP, material master records have a Material Type (e.g., ROH, HALB, FERT, NLAG, VERP, HIBE, DIEN, etc.). Some material types are intended only for display purposes and are not valid for planning or procurement. When such a material is included in a planning run or planning object structure, APO cannot process it, resulting in this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During planning runs in APO (e.g., SNP or PP/DS).
  When planned orders or planned independent requirements (PIRs) include materials that are of a display-only category.
  When integration between ERP and APO transfers planned data for materials that are not valid for planning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master in ERP:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Check the Material Type of the material causing the error.
  Confirm if the material type is a display-only type (e.g., DIEN - Services, or any custom display-only material type).
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Master:
  
  If the material should be planned, change the material type to a valid planning material type (e.g., HALB, FERT, ROH).
  If the material is truly display-only and should not be planned, exclude it from planning or from the data transfer to APO.
  
  
  
  Filter Out Display Materials in Planning:
  
  Adjust planning parameters or filters in APO to exclude materials of display category.
  In SNP or PP/DS, ensure that only relevant materials are included in planning runs.
  
  
  
  Check CIF (Core Interface) Settings:
  
  If the error arises during CIF transfer from ERP to APO, check the CIF settings.
  Exclude display-only materials from being transferred to APO.
  
  
  
  Customizing:
  
  Review the customizing for material types and their planning relevance.
  Possibly create a user exit or BAdI to filter out display materials from planning objects.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Types: Some material types are not intended for planning or procurement (e.g., DIEN for services, non-stock materials).
  APO Planning: Only materials relevant for production, procurement, or stock management should be planned.
  CIF Transfer: The Core Interface (CIF) transfers master and transaction data from ERP to APO. Incorrect material types can cause errors.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to WRF_APC151 for any patches or updates.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MM03: Display Material
  /SAPAPO/SDP94: SNP Planning Book
  /SAPAPO/PPDS: PP/DS Planning
  CIF Transactions: CIF1, CIF2, CIF3
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Planned material has a material category/type that is display-only and not supported for planning in APO.
  Solution: Change material type to a planning-relevant type or exclude the material from planning and CIF transfer.
  Check: Material master data, planning filters, CIF settings.
