• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO260 - Order quantity & is outside planned lot sizes & - & & ?

  The SAP error message CO260 indicates that the order quantity specified for a production order or process order is outside the planned lot sizes defined in the material master or the production version. This error typically arises when the quantity you are trying to process does not conform to the minimum or maximum lot size constraints set in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The material master or production version has defined lot sizes (minimum, maximum, and fixed lot sizes) that the order quantity must adhere to.
  Order Quantity: The quantity you are trying to enter is either less than the minimum lot size or greater than the maximum lot size.
  Production Version: If you are using a production version, it may have specific lot size constraints that are not being met.
  Settings in MRP: The settings in the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) may also impose constraints on the order quantities.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Adjust Order Quantity: Change the order quantity to fall within the defined lot sizes. Ensure that it meets the minimum and maximum lot size requirements.

  Modify Lot Size Settings: If necessary, adjust the lot size settings in the material master or production version to accommodate the desired order quantity. This can be done in the material master (transaction code MM02) or in the production version settings.
  Check Production Version: If you are using a production version, ensure that it is correctly set up and that the lot size constraints are appropriate for your production needs.
  Consult with MRP Settings: If the issue persists, consult with your MRP settings to ensure that they align with your production requirements.
