• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRD_SCM_MSGS000 - Non-delivery penalty must be more than max total of late delivery penalty ?

  The SAP error message PRD_SCM_MSGS000 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the penalty settings for non-delivery and late delivery in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, this error occurs when the non-delivery penalty is set to a value that is less than or equal to the maximum total of the late delivery penalty. 
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The non-delivery penalty is configured incorrectly in relation to the late delivery penalty. The system expects the non-delivery penalty to be greater than the maximum total of the late delivery penalty.
  Business Rules Violation: The business rules or logic defined in the SCM system may require that non-delivery penalties are more significant to discourage non-compliance with delivery schedules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the penalty settings in the SCM configuration:
  
  
  Access the Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP SCM where penalties are defined. This is typically found under the logistics or supply chain management settings.
  
  
  
  Review Penalty Settings:
  
  Check the current values set for both the non-delivery penalty and the late delivery penalty.
  Ensure that the non-delivery penalty is greater than the maximum total of the late delivery penalty.
  
  
  
  Adjust Values:
  
  If the non-delivery penalty is less than or equal to the late delivery penalty, increase the non-delivery penalty to a value that is greater than the maximum total of the late delivery penalty.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and exit the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Perform a test transaction to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the penalties are being applied correctly.
