• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O8532 - Material &1 - loss quantity &2 not in tolerance (&3) ?

  The SAP error message O8532 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the loss quantity for a material that exceeds the defined tolerance limits. This message typically arises during inventory management processes, such as goods movements, physical inventory, or production order confirmations.
  Cause:
  The error message O8532 is triggered when:
  
  The loss quantity (e.g., scrap, waste) for a material exceeds the predefined tolerance limits set in the system.
  The tolerance limits are defined in the material master or in the configuration settings for the specific material type or plant.
  The system is configured to enforce strict controls on loss quantities to ensure accurate inventory management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the O8532 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Tolerance Settings:

  Review the "Plant Data / Storage" view to see if there are tolerance limits defined for loss quantities.
  
  
  
  Adjust Tolerance Limits:
  
  If the loss quantity is valid but exceeds the tolerance, consider adjusting the tolerance limits in the material master or in the configuration settings.

  Review the Loss Quantity:
  
  Verify the loss quantity being recorded. Ensure that it is accurate and reflects the actual loss incurred.
  If the loss quantity is incorrect, correct it in the relevant transaction (e.g., goods movement, production order confirmation).
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  If you are unsure about the appropriate tolerance levels, consult with your inventory management or production planning team to determine acceptable limits.
