• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XC080 - MRP area &1 contains more than one storage location ?

  The SAP error message XC080 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) area in relation to storage locations. Specifically, it means that the MRP area you are trying to work with is associated with more than one storage location, which is not allowed in certain contexts.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Storage Locations: The MRP area is defined to include multiple storage locations, but the system expects only one storage location for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the MRP area settings or in the material master data.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry when defining the MRP area or during the material master setup.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check MRP Area Configuration:
  
  Go to the MRP area configuration in the SAP system (Transaction code: OMI2).
  Verify the settings for the MRP area in question and ensure that it is correctly defined to include only one storage location if that is the requirement.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data (Transaction code: MM03) for the material associated with the MRP area.
  Ensure that the MRP area is correctly assigned and that it does not reference multiple storage locations if that is not intended.
  
  
  
  Adjust MRP Area:
  
  If the MRP area is intended to cover multiple storage locations, consider whether the process you are trying to execute can be adjusted to accommodate this.
  Alternatively, if the MRP area should only cover one storage location, you may need to create a new MRP area that is specific to that storage location.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on MRP area configuration and the implications of having multiple storage locations.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and data, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 (Display Material), OMI2 (Maintain MRP Area), and MD01 (MRP Run) for managing MRP areas and materials.
