• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KJ488 - Use Quantities = & only with overrun A ?

  The SAP error message KJ488 ("Use Quantities = & only with overrun A") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with production orders and the handling of quantities in relation to overrun scenarios.
  Cause:
  This error message is triggered when there is an inconsistency in the settings or data related to the production order. Specifically, it indicates that the system is trying to use a quantity that is not compatible with the overrun type specified in the order. The "overrun A" refers to a specific type of overrun handling in SAP, which allows for the production of quantities that exceed the planned amount.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Incorrect Overrun Settings: The production order may have been set up with an overrun type that does not match the quantities being used.
  Quantity Mismatch: The quantities specified in the order or during the confirmation process may not align with the expected values for the overrun type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the production planning module that are not set up correctly, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KJ488 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Production Order Settings:
  
  Review the production order to ensure that the overrun type is correctly set to "A" and that the quantities being used are appropriate for this overrun type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quantities:
  
  If the quantities being used are incorrect, adjust them to match the expected values for the overrun type. Ensure that the planned quantity and the confirmed quantity are consistent.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to production orders and overrun handling. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling overrun types and quantities in production orders.
