• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_DISPRO069 - Connection of time-dependent procurement cycles is not active ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_DISPRO069 – Connection of time-dependent procurement cycles is not active
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Production Planning (PP) or Materials Management (MM) when the system tries to process time-dependent procurement cycles (such as planned orders, production orders, or purchase requisitions) but finds that the connection or integration between these cycles is not active or properly maintained.
  Specifically, the error indicates that the system expects a link or connection between procurement cycles (e.g., between planned orders and purchase requisitions or between different procurement stages) to be active/enabled, but it is currently inactive or missing.
  Common causes include:
  
  The configuration for time-dependent procurement cycles is incomplete or incorrect.
  The integration/customizing settings for procurement cycle connections are not activated.
  Missing or incorrect assignment in the customizing of procurement types or procurement cycle links.
  The system is trying to process procurement cycles that require active connections, but these connections have been deactivated or not maintained.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error WRF_DISPRO069, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Customizing for Procurement Cycle Connections:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Production ? Material Requirements Planning ? Time-Dependent Procurement ? Define Procurement Cycle.
  Verify that the procurement cycles involved are correctly defined and that the connections between them are active.
  Ensure that the relevant procurement types (e.g., in-house production, external procurement) are properly linked.
  
  
  
  Activate the Connection:
  
  In the customizing for procurement cycles, check if the connection between the relevant procurement cycles is set to active.
  If inactive, activate the connection.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master and MRP Settings:
  
  Verify that the material master data (MRP views) is correctly maintained for time-dependent procurement.
  Check if the procurement type and MRP type support time-dependent procurement cycles.
  
  
  
  Review User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If custom logic is implemented for procurement cycles, ensure it does not deactivate or interfere with the connection.
  
  
  
  Re-run MRP or Relevant Transaction:
  
  After correcting the settings, re-run the MRP or the transaction that triggered the error to confirm the issue is resolved.
