• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKBA050 - Lot size & is outside lot-size range of routing ?

  The SAP error message CKBA050 indicates that the lot size specified for a production order or a planned order is outside the allowable lot size range defined in the routing for that material. This can occur during various processes, such as when creating a production order, running MRP (Material Requirements Planning), or during the confirmation of production activities.
  Cause:
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The routing for the material has defined a specific lot size range (minimum and maximum lot sizes) that the production order must adhere to. If the lot size you are trying to use falls outside this range, the error will occur.
  Order Quantity: The quantity specified in the production order or planned order does not meet the minimum or exceeds the maximum lot size defined in the routing.
  Routing Settings: The routing may have been set up incorrectly, or the lot size range may not have been updated to reflect current production needs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lot Size in Production Order: Review the lot size specified in the production order or planned order. Ensure that it falls within the defined range in the routing.
  Review Routing Configuration: 
  
  Go to the routing for the material in question (Transaction code: CA03).
  Check the lot size range defined in the routing. You can find this in the "General Data" or "Lot Size" section.
  
  
  Adjust Lot Size: If the lot size in the production order is incorrect, adjust it to fall within the defined range.
  Modify Routing: If the current lot size range in the routing is not suitable for your production needs, consider updating the routing to allow for a wider range of lot sizes. This can be done by:
  
  Editing the routing (Transaction code: CA02).
  Adjusting the minimum and maximum lot sizes as necessary.
  
  
  Consult with Production Planning: If you are unsure about the appropriate lot sizes, consult with your production planning team to determine the correct settings.
