  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O9008 - Scheduled quantity &1 &2 is less than minimum quantity of &3 &4 ?

    The SAP error message O9008 indicates that the scheduled quantity for a production order or a planned order is less than the minimum quantity required for that order type. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling within SAP.

    Cause:

    1. Minimum Quantity Requirement: Each production order or planned order may have a defined minimum quantity that must be met. If the scheduled quantity falls below this threshold, the system will generate this error.

    Solution:

    1. Adjust Scheduled Quantity: Increase the scheduled quantity to meet or exceed the minimum quantity requirement. This can be done in the production order or planned order.
    2. Review Minimum Quantity Settings: Check the material master data and production order settings to understand the minimum quantity requirements. You can do this by:
      • Navigating to the material master (transaction code MM03) and checking the relevant views (e.g., MRP view).
      • Reviewing the production order type settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO).
    3. Change Order Type: If the current order type has a higher minimum quantity than needed, consider using a different order type that has a lower minimum quantity requirement.
