• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3021 - Manually-entered quantity in & is within the high-warning range ?

  The SAP error message O3021 indicates that a manually-entered quantity in a transaction is within the high-warning range defined in the system.

  Review the Quantity: Check the quantity you are trying to enter. Ensure that it is correct and aligns with your business requirements.
  Check Configuration: If you believe the warning is unnecessary, consult with your SAP administrator or configuration team to review the high-warning range settings. They may adjust the thresholds if they are not appropriate for your business processes.
  Documentation: Refer to your organization's documentation or guidelines regarding quantity entry to ensure compliance with established procedures.
