M3338 - Details

• The SAP error message M3338, which states "Replenish to max. stock level supported only for reorder point planning," typically occurs in the context of inventory management and material planning within SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to perform a replenishment action that is not compatible with the current planning strategy being used for the material.
  
  Cause:
  
  Planning Strategy: The error arises when the system is set to a planning strategy that does not support replenishing to a maximum stock level. For example, if the material is set to use a strategy like "Make-to-Order" (MTO) or "Production Planning" (PP), the system will not allow replenishment to a maximum stock level.
  Stock Level Settings: The material master record may have settings that are not aligned with the replenishment strategy. If the material is not set up for reorder point planning, the system will not allow replenishment to a maximum stock level.
