• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOGL141 - Percentage scrap is to big! Reduce value of scrap or raise indiv. length! ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOGL141 Percentage scrap is too big! Reduce value of scrap or raise indiv. length! typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with production planning or scheduling. This error indicates that the percentage of scrap defined for a production process is too high relative to the individual length of the production run.
  Cause:
  
  High Scrap Percentage: The scrap percentage defined in the production process is set too high. This means that the system calculates that the amount of scrap produced exceeds acceptable limits based on the individual length of the production run.
  Short Production Runs: If the individual length of the production run is too short, even a small scrap percentage can lead to a significant amount of scrap, triggering this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the production process is configured in the system, including incorrect settings for scrap percentages or individual lengths.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Scrap Percentage: Review the scrap percentage defined for the production process and reduce it to a more acceptable level. This can be done in the material master or in the production process configuration.
  Increase Individual Length: If reducing the scrap percentage is not feasible, consider increasing the individual length of the production run. This will allow for a higher amount of scrap without exceeding the limits set by the system.
  Review Production Process: Check the overall production process for any inefficiencies or issues that may be causing excessive scrap. This could involve reviewing machine settings, operator training, or material quality.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to adjust scrap percentages and individual lengths in your version of SAP APO.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 (for planning book) or /SAPAPO/SCM (for supply chain management) to access relevant settings.
  Material Master: Check the material master data for the relevant product to ensure that the scrap percentage is set correctly.
  Production Version: Review the production version settings to ensure that they align with the expected production process.
  User Exits or BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect scrap calculations.
  
  By addressing the scrap percentage and individual length settings, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your planning activities in SAP APO.
