• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1368 - Fixed lot size for product &1, location &2 is larger than standard value ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1368 indicates that there is a fixed lot size defined for a specific product at a specific location that exceeds the standard value. This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when using the Capable-to-Match (CTM) functionality.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Lot Size Configuration: The fixed lot size for the product and location combination is set to a value that is larger than the standard value defined in the system. This can happen if the fixed lot size is incorrectly configured or if there are changes in demand or supply that make the current configuration invalid.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the master data for the product or location, such as incorrect lot size settings in the product master or location master data.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the product may not align with the fixed lot size settings, leading to conflicts during the planning run.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Fixed Lot Size Settings: Check the fixed lot size settings for the product and location in the product master data. Ensure that the fixed lot size is appropriate and does not exceed the standard value.
  
  Navigate to the product master data in SAP APO and verify the fixed lot size settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Standard Values: If the fixed lot size is indeed correct and necessary, consider adjusting the standard value in the system to accommodate the fixed lot size.
  
  This may involve changing the standard lot size settings in the relevant configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data: Ensure that the master data for the product and location is correctly maintained. Look for any discrepancies or errors that could be causing the issue.
  
  Verify the lot size settings in both the product master and location master.
  
  
  
  Planning Parameters Review: Review the planning parameters and settings for the product to ensure they are aligned with the fixed lot size requirements.
  
  Check the planning strategy and other relevant settings in the APO system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on fixed lot sizes and planning parameters.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, run a test planning run to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
