Summary :
When using transaction MC93 or MC94 with planning type S076 for Sales and Operations Planning (SOP), only the product group/material can be entered without a plant on the initial screen. This triggers error MA102 stating the specified period is before the planned start. For a resolution, shift to utilizing the planning types 'SOPKAPAM', 'SOPKAPA', or 'SOPDIS' which are better suited for handling product groups and materials, ensuring all necessary entry checks are in place. Alternatively, applying SAP Note 77284 and source code repair is recommended to address the issue.
