Why is MRP still suggesting an inactive item?
? Here's what SAP says:
✅ Why Inactive Items Appear in MRP:
- They might still be part of a BOM.
- They might be linked to an open sales order.
- SAP wants to show potential future demand, in case the item is needed again.
? MRP doesn’t let you use inactive items in transactions (like POs or production orders), but it warns you in case you need to act — either reactivate the item or replace it.
? Don’t want to see inactive items in MRP at all?
Go to:
Administration > System Initialization > General Settings > Inventory > Items
Then uncheck the option:
✔️ Display inactive items in Reports
