• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CHIP_API660 - Multiple proposals of poor quality, ignore poor quality as of now ?

  The SAP error message "CHIP_API660 Multiple proposals of poor quality, ignore poor quality as of now" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where the system is trying to generate proposals for planning or scheduling but encounters multiple proposals that do not meet the quality standards set by the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Poor Quality Proposals: The system has generated multiple planning proposals, but they are deemed to be of poor quality. This could be due to various reasons such as:
  
  Inaccurate or incomplete master data (e.g., material master, resource master).
  Inadequate historical data for forecasting.
  Constraints or settings in the planning parameters that lead to unrealistic proposals.
  Issues with the planning strategy or methods being used.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the planning area or in the planning books that are not aligned with the business requirements.
  
  
  Data Issues: Problems with the underlying data, such as missing or incorrect data in the InfoObjects or InfoProviders, can lead to poor-quality proposals.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data is complete and accurate. This includes checking material master records, resource capacities, and any other relevant data.
  
  
  Analyze Historical Data: Check the historical data used for forecasting. Ensure that it is sufficient and relevant for the current planning scenario.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Review and adjust the planning parameters and strategies to ensure they align with business needs. This may involve changing the planning horizon, safety stock levels, or other relevant settings.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the planning area and planning books. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  
  
  Use Quality Filters: If the system allows, consider implementing quality filters that can help in ignoring poor-quality proposals while still allowing good-quality proposals to be considered.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are using for any additional insights or updates regarding this error.
