• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO378 - Order quantity is not within lot size range of selected sequence ?

  The SAP error message CO378 ("Order quantity is not within lot size range of selected sequence") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control when creating or processing production orders. This error indicates that the quantity specified for the production order does not fall within the defined lot size range for the selected production version or sequence.
  Cause:
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The production version or material master may have specific lot size ranges defined (e.g., minimum lot size, maximum lot size, and lot size intervals). If the order quantity does not meet these criteria, the error will be triggered.
  Production Version: The selected production version may not be appropriate for the order quantity being entered.
  Sequence Settings: If the order is being created based on a sequence, the sequence may have its own lot size constraints that are not being met.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly configured, leading to discrepancies in the lot size settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lot Size Settings:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the lot size settings in the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) view.
  Ensure that the order quantity falls within the defined minimum and maximum lot sizes.
  
  
  
  Review Production Version:
  
  Check the production version assigned to the material (transaction code C223 or C201).
  Ensure that the production version allows for the specified order quantity.
  
  
  
  Adjust Order Quantity:
  
  If possible, adjust the order quantity to fall within the acceptable lot size range.
  If the order quantity is fixed due to business requirements, consider changing the lot size settings in the material master.
  
  
  
  Check Sequence Settings:
  
  If the order is based on a sequence, review the sequence settings to ensure they align with the order quantity.
  Adjust the sequence or select a different one that accommodates the order quantity.
  
  
  
  Consult with a SAP PP Consultant:
  
  If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with a SAP Production Planning (PP) consultant or your SAP support team to review the configuration and settings in detail.
