• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSRCP061 - Choose a higher value for the maximum lot size than for the minimum ?

  The SAP error message RMSRCP061 indicates that there is a configuration issue with the lot size settings in the SAP system, specifically in the context of the Repetitive Manufacturing (RM) or Production Planning (PP) modules. This error occurs when the maximum lot size is set to a value that is less than or equal to the minimum lot size, which is logically incorrect.
  Cause:
  The error arises from the following conditions:
  
  The minimum lot size is set to a value that is greater than or equal to the maximum lot size in the material master or production version settings.
  This configuration leads to a contradiction, as the system cannot produce a lot that is both a minimum and a maximum size at the same time.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the lot size settings in the relevant configuration. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access Material Master:
  
  Go to the transaction code MM02 (Change Material) or MM01 (Create Material) depending on your needs.
  Enter the material number and select the appropriate views (usually the MRP or Production views).
  
  
  
  Check Lot Size Settings:
  
  Navigate to the MRP 1 view or the Production view.
  Look for the fields related to lot sizes, specifically:
  
  Minimum Lot Size
  Maximum Lot Size
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Values:
  
  Ensure that the maximum lot size is greater than the minimum lot size. For example, if the minimum lot size is set to 100, the maximum lot size should be set to a value greater than 100 (e.g., 200, 300, etc.).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the material master.
  
  
  
  Check Production Version (if applicable):
  
  If you are using production versions, ensure that the lot size settings in the production version are also consistent and correct.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Lot Size Types: Understand the different types of lot sizes in SAP, such as fixed lot size, lot-for-lot, and others, to choose the appropriate settings for your production needs.
  Configuration Settings: If you are unsure about the appropriate values for lot sizes, consult with your production planning team or refer to your organization's production planning guidelines.
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that production planning processes work as expected.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RMSRCP061 error and ensure that your lot size settings are correctly configured in SAP.
