• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PP_SFC_MESSAGES021 - Split Min Proc Duratn can not be changed if Split Req Indic is True. ?

  The SAP error message PP_SFC_MESSAGES021 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a production order or process order in the SAP system, specifically related to the split of operations and the minimum processing duration.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to change the "Minimum Processing Duration" of a production order or process order while the "Split Requirement Indicator" is set to true. The "Split Requirement Indicator" indicates that the operation can be split into multiple parts, and when this is enabled, the system does not allow changes to the minimum processing duration because it could lead to inconsistencies in the scheduling and processing of the order.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a couple of options:
  
  
  Disable the Split Requirement Indicator:
  
  If it is not necessary for the operation to be split, you can disable the "Split Requirement Indicator" in the order or operation settings. This will allow you to change the minimum processing duration without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Minimum Processing Duration:
  
  If the split is necessary, you may need to keep the "Split Requirement Indicator" enabled and adjust your planning or scheduling to accommodate the existing minimum processing duration. This may involve reviewing the production process and ensuring that the durations are set correctly according to the operational requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or configuration guides related to production planning and order management to understand the implications of changing these settings.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the changes or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.

  User Exits or BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the behavior of the split requirement and processing durations.
