• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PROD_ALLOC_SEQUENCE036 - Enter forward/backward consumption greater/equal 0 for constraint &2&1. ?

  The SAP error message PROD_ALLOC_SEQUENCE036 typically occurs in the context of production allocation or planning, particularly when dealing with constraints in the production process. The message indicates that the forward or backward consumption values for a specific constraint must be greater than or equal to zero.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system detects that the values for forward or backward consumption defined for a specific constraint (identified by &2&1 in the message) are set to a negative number. This is not allowed, as consumption values must be non-negative.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check and correct the consumption values for the specified constraint. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Constraint: Look at the error message to identify the specific constraint (the values represented by &2&1).
  
  
  Access the Relevant Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP where you can view or edit the production allocation settings. This could be in the production planning module or a related area.
  Common transactions include MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or C223 (Change Production Version).
  
  
  
  Check Consumption Values:
  
  Navigate to the section where the forward and backward consumption values are defined for the identified constraint.
  Ensure that both values are set to zero or a positive number.
  
  
  
  Update Values:
  
  If you find that either value is negative, update it to a valid non-negative number (0 or greater).
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Re-run the Process: After correcting the values, try to re-run the process that triggered the error to see if it resolves the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to production planning and allocation for more detailed information on constraints and consumption values.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide further assistance.
