Problem when creating planned order with MRP run

[Former Member]

Hello,

I create a material with a fix reorder point, MRP type VB. When I run MRP with MD03 on this material I have several problems :

- planned order is created with an opening date in the past, so I have error 'Opening date in the past' in MD04. How can I generate a planned order with opening date not in the past

- when changing manually opening date, after running again MD03, I have error 'No BOM selected'. Material is configurable, has a text BOM, a routing and a configuration profile. What is the problem? When modifying planned order, I have message :

Material requires configuration

Message no. 61259

Diagnosis

Orders and requirements for a configurable material must have characteristic values.

Usually, you should create a variation for configurable materials managed in inventory management which has the default variant configuration.

System Response

MRP: Requirements without characteristic values for a material cannot be planned in MRP.

Procedure

Check requirements or orders.

Create a configuration evaluation for the material in the material master record if necessary.

Thanks in advance.
