• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DM_TLBPRFL010 - Although lower and upper limits are the same, < or > is used ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DM_TLBPRFL010 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a discrepancy in the configuration of the planning profile, particularly in the context of transportation load building or similar processes. The error indicates that there is a logical inconsistency in the settings where the lower and upper limits are defined to be the same, yet a comparison operator (< or >) is being used, which is not valid in this context.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The planning profile or the settings for the transportation load building may have been incorrectly configured. Specifically, the lower and upper limits for a certain parameter (like capacity, quantity, etc.) are set to the same value, but the system is trying to apply a comparison that requires them to be different.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error during data entry where the limits were set incorrectly.
  Business Logic Error: The business logic defined in the planning profile may not align with the actual requirements or constraints of the planning process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Planning Profile: Go to the planning profile configuration in SAP APO and check the settings for the relevant parameters. Ensure that if the lower and upper limits are the same, the comparison operators used are appropriate (e.g., use = instead of < or >).
  Adjust Limits: If the business logic allows, consider adjusting the lower and upper limits to be different if that aligns with your planning requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific planning profile you are using to ensure that you are following the correct configuration guidelines.
  Testing: After making changes, test the planning process again to ensure that the error is resolved and that the planning runs as expected.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is a critical issue affecting your planning processes.
