This error typically arises when the system attempts to fulfill a demand partially, but the quantity being allocated does not meet the minimum threshold defined in the system.

  Configuration Settings: The settings in the APO system regarding minimum fulfillment quantities for specific products or product groups may not be aligned with the current demand and supply situation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Minimum Fulfillment Settings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in the APO system to review the minimum fulfillment quantity settings for the affected product or product group.

  Review CTM Settings:
  
  Check the CTM settings in the APO system to ensure that they are configured correctly for the specific planning scenario.
