• Message number: 251

• Message text: Indicates that the planned receipts/issues are to be included

&USE&
You can have the system take planned receipts and issues into account
<DS:DE.WRPLHZ>up to the point of goods receipt</> when determining the
replenishment requirement. The system makes an internal availability
check using <DS:GLOS.3526BE8CAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>ATP logic</>
(available to promise).
&HINTS&
All documents pertaining to purchase orders are considered as planned
receipts. These are purchase requisitions, purchase orders, shipping
notifications, rough goods receipts and replenishment deliveries for
stock transport orders (delivery type <LS>NL</>).
Deliveries with no reference to a system document (delivery type <LS>LO
</> and deliveries for a stock transport order (delivery type <LS>UL
</>), are only considered as issues but not as receipts.
The availability check can reduce performance of Replenishment
considerably.
&PRECONDITIONS&
You must have entered a check group for the availability check in the
logistics master data for the material concerned.
You can maintain check groups in Customizing for Sales using the
<DS:CHAP.SIMG_CFMENUOLSDATP>availability check with ATP logic</> step.
The check rule is set internally for Replenishment to <LS>RP</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT251 - Indicates that the planned receipts/issues are to be included ?

  SAP Error Message WT251: "Indicates that the planned receipts/issues are to be included"
  
  1. Cause of the Error
  The message WT251 typically appears in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) when dealing with stock or planning data. It indicates that the system expects planned receipts or planned issues to be included in the stock or planning calculation, but they are currently not considered or missing.
  More specifically:
  
  The system is trying to perform a stock or requirement check.
  Planned receipts (e.g., purchase orders, production orders) or planned issues (e.g., sales orders, reservations) are not included in the calculation.
  This can happen if the planning horizon or stock determination parameters exclude planned movements.
  It may also occur if the system settings or user input do not allow planned receipts/issues to be factored in.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the WT251 message, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Planning Parameters:
  
  Verify if the planning horizon or stock determination settings include planned receipts and issues.
  In MRP or stock overview transactions, ensure that the option to include planned receipts/issues is selected.
  
  
  
  Adjust User Input or Selection Criteria:
  
  When running stock or requirement reports (e.g., MD04, stock overview), make sure the selection includes planned receipts and issues.

  Review Master Data and Open Documents:
  
  Confirm that purchase orders, production orders, or sales orders are correctly created and released.
  Check if planned receipts/issues exist for the material in question.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  In IMG under Logistics Execution or Warehouse Management, verify settings related to stock determination and planning.
  Ensure that the system is configured to consider planned receipts/issues in the relevant processes.
