• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2344 - Extern. constraints must not be adhered to more strictly than inter. ones ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2344 indicates that there is a conflict between external constraints and internal constraints in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, it suggests that the external constraints (which may come from suppliers, customers, or other external sources) are being adhered to more strictly than the internal constraints (which are defined within the system for production, inventory, etc.). This can lead to infeasibility in the planning process.
  
  Cause:
  
  Constraint Configuration: The external constraints are set up in such a way that they are more restrictive than the internal constraints. This can happen if the external demand or supply conditions are not aligned with the internal planning parameters.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data being used for planning, such as incorrect lead times, lot sizes, or capacity constraints.
  Planning Version Issues: The planning version being used may not be correctly configured to handle the constraints appropriately.
