• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/LCM091 - Sources for prod. &1 at loc. &2: Mixed priorities and quota arrangements ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/LCM091 indicates that there is a conflict in the priority and quota arrangements for sourcing products in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when there are multiple sources of supply for a product at a specific location, and the system cannot determine which source to prioritize due to mixed priority settings or quota arrangements.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mixed Priorities: Different sources for the same product may have conflicting priority settings. For example, one source may be set with a higher priority than another, but the quota arrangements may not align with these priorities.
  
  
  Quota Arrangements: Quotas define how much of a product can be sourced from each supplier. If the quota arrangements are not properly configured or if they conflict with the priority settings, the system may not be able to allocate the product correctly.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the sourcing strategy, such as incorrect settings in the sourcing profiles or the allocation of quotas.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Priority Settings: Check the priority settings for the sources of supply for the product in question. Ensure that they are set correctly and consistently across all sources.
  
  
  Check Quota Arrangements: Review the quota arrangements for the product at the specified location. Make sure that the quotas are defined correctly and do not conflict with the priority settings.
  
  
  Adjust Sourcing Strategy: If necessary, adjust the sourcing strategy to ensure that it aligns with the business requirements. This may involve changing the priority of certain sources or modifying the quota arrangements.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the sourcing process to ensure that the error does not reoccur. Monitor the system for any further issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring sourcing priorities and quota arrangements.
  
  
  Engage SAP Support: If the issue persists after reviewing and adjusting the settings, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/LCM to access the relevant configuration settings for sourcing and quota arrangements.
  Master Data: Ensure that the master data for products, locations, and suppliers is correctly maintained in the system.
  APO Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in APO related to sourcing, including the use of sourcing profiles and allocation strategies.
  
  By addressing the mixed priorities and quota arrangements, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure smooth sourcing operations in your SAP APO environment.
