  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 in planning.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Assignments:
  
  Identify all materials currently assigned to the MRP type in question.
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) or run reports to find materials with the MRP type.
  You can also use table MARC (Plant Data for Material) and filter by the MRP type field (DISPO).
  
  
  
  Change MRP Type for Materials:
  
  For all materials assigned to the MRP type, change the MRP type to another valid and active MRP type.
  This can be done via mass maintenance transactions like MM17 or manually in MM02.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  If you are trying to delete or deactivate the MRP type in customizing (transaction OMD2 or SPRO path: Logistics ? Production ? Material Requirements Planning ? Master Data ? MRP Types), ensure no materials are assigned to it.
  
  
  
  After Reassignment:
  
  Once no materials are assigned to the MRP type, you can safely delete or modify it.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  MRP Type Field: DISPO in table MARC.
  Common MRP Types: PD (MRP), VB (Manual reorder point), VV (Forecast-based planning), etc.
  Impact: Changing or deleting an MRP type without proper reassignment can cause planning errors or incorrect replenishment proposals.
  Related Transactions:
  
  MM02: Change Material Master
  MM17: Mass Maintenance
  OMD2: Change MRP Types
  MD04: Stock/Requirements List (to check planning results)
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WRPLCHK017 warns you that the MRP type you want to change or delete is still in use for replenishment. To resolve it, find all materials assigned to this MRP type, change their MRP type to a valid one, and then proceed with your changes.
