• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOGL135 - In length calculatin method 'BLANK' the max. prod.length must be initial ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOGL135 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with the configuration of the length calculation method for a product. This error specifically indicates that when the length calculation method is set to 'BLANK', the maximum production length must be left empty (initial).
  Cause:

This is a contradiction because the system expects that if the length calculation method is 'BLANK', there should be no maximum production length defined.
