• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE099 - Maximum stock level requires lot size (Products planning) ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE099, which states "Maximum stock level requires lot size," typically occurs in the context of product planning and inventory management. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or an issue with the lot size settings in relation to the maximum stock level defined for a product.
  Cause:
  
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The lot size settings for the material may not be compatible with the maximum stock level defined in the material master. For example, if the maximum stock level is set to a value that cannot be achieved with the current lot size, this error will occur.
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be correctly set, leading to inconsistencies between the maximum stock level and the lot size.
  
  
  Material Master Data: There may be incorrect or incomplete data in the material master record, particularly in the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) views.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Lot Size Settings: Check the lot size settings for the material in the material master (transaction code MM02). Ensure that the lot size is appropriate for the maximum stock level defined.
  
  
  Adjust Maximum Stock Level: If the maximum stock level is set too high for the current lot size, consider adjusting the maximum stock level to a value that is achievable with the existing lot size.
  
  
  Check MRP Views: Review the MRP views of the material master to ensure that all relevant fields are correctly filled out, including the lot size and maximum stock level.
  
  
  Consult Planning Parameters: If applicable, check the planning parameters in the MRP settings to ensure they align with the business requirements and the material's characteristics.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, run a test planning run to see if the error persists. This can be done using transaction code MD02 (single-item, single-level planning) or MD03 (single-item, multi-level planning).
