• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEWM_APPOINTMENT014 - Threshd Value for Exc. Plng Smaller than Threshd Val. for Red Traf. Light ?

  The SAP error message EEWM_APPOINTMENT014 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the threshold values set for the "Exc. Plng" (Excess Planning) and the "Red Traffic Light" in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when the threshold value for Excess Planning is set smaller than the threshold value for the Red Traffic Light, which is logically inconsistent.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Error: The most common cause of this error is a misconfiguration in the threshold values for planning parameters in the EWM settings.
  Business Logic: The business logic may require that the Excess Planning threshold should always be greater than or equal to the Red Traffic Light threshold to ensure proper planning and visibility in the warehouse operations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the threshold values in the EWM configuration:
  
  
  Access EWM Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP EWM configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant section for defining thresholds for planning.
  
  
  
  Check Threshold Values:
  
  Locate the settings for "Threshold Values for Planning" or similar configuration.
  Review the values set for Excess Planning and Red Traffic Light.
  
  
  
  Adjust Values:
  
  Ensure that the threshold value for Excess Planning is greater than or equal to the threshold value for the Red Traffic Light.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the adjustments, test the planning process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
