  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/AMON_LIST058 indicates that there is a shortfall in the availability of a certain quantity of a material during an availability check in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. The message specifies that the shortfall is for a quantity of &SQTY in the unit of measure &MEINS, and it is marked as "non-effective," meaning that the system cannot fulfill the demand with the available stock.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Stock: The most common cause is that the available stock of the material is less than the required quantity for the planned order or demand.
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or settings in APO may not be configured correctly, leading to inaccurate availability checks.
  Lead Times: If the lead times for procurement or production are not set correctly, it may result in a perceived shortfall.
  Demand Changes: Changes in demand or unplanned orders can lead to a situation where the available stock is insufficient.
  Non-effective Stock: The stock may be marked as non-effective due to various reasons, such as being reserved for other orders or being in a blocked status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the current stock levels in the system to confirm whether there is indeed a shortfall. You can do this using transaction codes like MMBE or MD04.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Review and adjust the planning parameters in APO to ensure they are set correctly for the material in question.
  Review Demand and Supply: Analyze the demand and supply situation to identify any discrepancies. This may involve checking for any unplanned orders or changes in demand.
  Procurement or Production Orders: If there is a shortfall, consider creating procurement or production orders to replenish stock.
  Check Non-effective Stock: Investigate why the stock is marked as non-effective. If it is reserved for other orders, you may need to adjust those orders or release the stock if possible.
  Consult with Planning Team: If the issue persists, consult with the planning team to understand if there are any broader issues affecting availability checks.
  
  Related Information:
