  SAP Error Message: WRPLCHK017
  Text:
  MRP type & is still relevant for replenishment
  
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you attempt to change or delete an MRP type in the material master or customizing, but the system detects that the MRP type is still assigned to materials or is actively used in the replenishment process. The MRP type controls how materials are planned and replenished, so if it is still in use, changing or deleting it could disrupt planning runs or replenishment logic.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The MRP type defines the planning strategy for a material (e.g., consumption-based planning, reorder point planning, etc.).
  If you try to deactivate, delete, or modify an MRP type that is still assigned to one or more materials, SAP prevents this action to avoid inconsistencies.
  The system checks whether the MRP type is still relevant for replenishment, meaning it is still assigned to materials or used
