• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1528 - Total (&1) incoming quota arrangements for loc. (&2) greater than 100% ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1528 indicates that the total incoming quota arrangements for a specific location exceed 100%. This error typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when using the Capacity Planning or Production Planning functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the sum of all quota arrangements (which define how much of a product can be received from different sources) for a particular location exceeds the maximum capacity allowed (100%). This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Quota Arrangements: The quota arrangements may have been set up incorrectly, leading to an over-allocation.
  Changes in Demand or Supply: Changes in demand or supply that were not reflected in the quota arrangements can lead to discrepancies.
  Multiple Sources: If there are multiple sources supplying the same product to a location, and their combined quotas exceed 100%, this error will occur.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Quota Arrangements:
  
  Go to the quota arrangement configuration in SAP and check the quota arrangements for the specified location.
  Ensure that the total of all incoming quotas does not exceed 100%.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quota Percentages:
  
  If the total exceeds 100%, you will need to adjust the percentages of the quota arrangements so that they sum up to 100% or less.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  Investigate if there have been any recent changes in demand or supply that might not have been updated in the quota arrangements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the relevant SAP documentation or guidelines for setting up quota arrangements to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, run a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
