As of SAP Enhancement Package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (release 617), a new table was introduced on the standard system to store the planning file entries of the MRP Fiori apps.

This table should be updated after each MRP relevant change that should affect the MRP Fiori Apps, similarly to the existing MRP planning file entries.

However, this update should only happen if the ERP on SAP HANA with HANA optimization for MRP (business function LOG_PPH_MDPSX_READ activated) and the MRP Fiori apps are running (areas of responsibility SDM_AOR are maintained).

In some specific scenarios, however, entries were created and updated on this table even when the above pre-requisites were not met.

This unnecessary update of this table on systems where HANA is not being used could lead to performance issues or deadlocks in extreme cases.

Notes with corrections to avoid this issue were already created and the issue should be fixed on the standard system, however, if you have already upgraded to release 617 or if you are planning an upgrade, you should ensure that the following notes are implemented on your system:
