  SAP Message WT747
  Message Text:
  
  For material & , the system determined & as the next planning time.
  
  1. Cause
  This message typically appears during the planning run in SAP (e.g., MRP or consumption-based planning). It indicates that the system has calculated or selected a particular date/time as the "next planning time" for the material in question.
  
  The system uses various parameters such as lot size, safety stock, reorder point, and planning horizon to determine when the next planning run should consider this material.
  The message is informational but can sometimes indicate that the system has chosen a planning date that might be unexpected or outside the usual planning horizon.
  It can occur if:
  
  The material has no demand or supply elements within the current planning horizon.
  The system uses the lot-sizing procedure or planning parameters that push the next planning date forward.
  There are inconsistencies or missing data in the material master or planning parameters.
  
  
  
  
  2. Solution
  Since WT747 is generally an informational message, it does not always indicate an error that needs correction. However, if the planning date determined by the system is not as expected, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify the MRP type, lot size, safety stock, and reorder point.
  Ensure that the planning horizon and scheduling parameters are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Check the lot-sizing procedure (e.g., lot-for-lot, fixed lot size).
  Confirm the planning horizon and planning calendar settings.
  
  
  
  Analyze Demand and Supply Elements:
  
  Check if there are any open purchase requisitions, planned orders, or sales orders.
  Verify if the system has any demand or supply elements influencing the planning date.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Horizon or Lot Size:
  
  If the next planning time is too far in the future, consider adjusting the planning horizon or lot size to better reflect actual requirements.
  
  
  
  Run MRP with Detailed Logs:
  
  Use transaction MD04 or MDVP to analyze the planning situation.
  Run MRP with detailed logs to understand why the system chose that planning date.
