Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP610 - Maximum group size must be greater than or equal to minimum group size ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP610 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the group size settings in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, specifically in the context of Available-to-Promise (ATP) checks or similar planning scenarios.
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the maximum group size defined for a certain planning object (like a product or a location) is less than the minimum group size. In other words, the system is trying to validate a configuration where the maximum allowable quantity for a group of items is less than the minimum required quantity for that same group, which is logically inconsistent.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the group size settings in the relevant configuration. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the relevant configuration area for your APO system. This is typically found under the SAP APO module settings.
  
  
  
  Check Group Size Settings:
  
  Look for the settings related to the planning object (like product or location) that is causing the error. This could be in the context of the product master data or the planning book settings.
  Specifically, check the fields for "Minimum Group Size" and "Maximum Group Size."
  
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  Ensure that the value for the Maximum Group Size is greater than or equal to the Minimum Group Size. If it is not, adjust the Maximum Group Size accordingly.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Run the ATP check or the planning scenario again to see if the error persists. If the configuration is correct, the error should no longer appear.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for your version of SAP APO for detailed information on configuring group sizes and other related settings.
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 (for planning book settings) or /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for product view) to access the relevant configuration areas.
  Support: If you continue to experience issues after making the adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in APO configurations.
  
  By ensuring that the maximum group size is appropriately set in relation to the minimum group size, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your planning processes.
