• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN752 - Material &: Requirement quantity & smaller than quantity withdrawn & ?

  The SAP error message CN752 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the requirement quantity and the quantity that has already been withdrawn for a material in a project or order. This typically occurs in the context of project system (PS) or production planning (PP) modules when trying to withdraw materials for a specific requirement.
  Cause:
  
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The requirement quantity specified for a material is less than the quantity that has already been withdrawn. This can happen if:
  
  The requirement was incorrectly entered.
  The withdrawal was recorded incorrectly or more than what was required.
  There were changes in the project or order that were not reflected in the material requirements.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the material master or the project/order settings that lead to incorrect calculations of required quantities.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual errors during data entry can lead to discrepancies between the required and withdrawn quantities.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Requirement and Withdrawal Quantities:
  
  Review the requirement quantity for the material in the project/order.
  Check the quantity that has already been withdrawn. You can do this by looking at the material documents or the project/order history.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quantities:
  
  If the requirement quantity is indeed less than the withdrawn quantity, you may need to adjust the requirement to match the withdrawn quantity.
  If the withdrawal was incorrect, you may need to reverse the excess withdrawal.
  
  
  
  Update Project/Order:
  
  If there have been changes in the project or order that affect material requirements, ensure that these changes are updated in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or guidelines for material management in your organization to ensure compliance with procedures.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists or if you are unsure about making adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a functional consultant for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Project System Settings: Review the settings in the project system to ensure that they are configured correctly for material requirements.
