• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOGL154 - Scrap (&/&/&) is too large or max. prod. length (&) to small -> Error ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOGL154 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with production planning and scheduling. This error indicates that the scrap percentage specified for a production order is too high or that the maximum production length defined for the operation is too small to accommodate the scrap.
  Cause:
  
  
  High Scrap Percentage: The scrap percentage defined in the production order or in the material master may exceed the allowable limits. This can happen if the scrap is set to a value that is not realistic based on the production process.
  
  
  Small Maximum Production Length: The maximum production length defined for the operation may be too small to accommodate the production quantity plus the scrap. This can occur if the production process is not configured correctly or if the parameters have not been updated to reflect current production capabilities.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Scrap Percentage:
  
  Check the scrap percentage defined in the production order or in the material master.
  Adjust the scrap percentage to a more realistic value that reflects the actual production process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Maximum Production Length:
  
  Review the maximum production length settings in the routing or production version.
  Increase the maximum production length to ensure it can accommodate the production quantity plus any expected scrap.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the production process is configured correctly in the system.
  Review the routing and production version settings to ensure they align with the actual production capabilities.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how to adjust scrap and production length settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, test the production order again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like C223 (Change Routing) or C201 (Create Production Order) to make necessary adjustments.
  Material Master: Check the material master data using transaction code MM03 to review the scrap settings.
  Production Planning: Familiarize yourself with the production planning and scheduling concepts in SAP APO to better understand how scrap and production lengths are managed.
  
  If the issue persists after making the necessary adjustments, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
