Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ORDER_SPLIT055 - Partial order exceeds the maximum source of supply lot size of &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ORDER_SPLIT055 indicates that a partial order exceeds the maximum source of supply lot size defined in the system. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to split an order, and the resulting quantity exceeds the allowed lot size for the source of supply.
  Cause:
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The maximum lot size for the source of supply (e.g., a vendor, production order, etc.) is set in the material master or in the source of supply settings. If the quantity being processed exceeds this limit, the error will occur.
  Order Splitting Logic: The order splitting logic in APO may be attempting to create a partial order that is larger than the allowed maximum lot size.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the product or the source of supply may not be aligned with the actual supply chain constraints.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Lot Size Settings:
  
  Check the material master data for the relevant product and verify the maximum lot size settings.
  Navigate to the material master (transaction MM03) and check the "MRP 2" view for the lot size settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Order Quantity:
  
  If possible, adjust the order quantity to ensure it does not exceed the maximum lot size defined for the source of supply.
  
  
  
  Modify Source of Supply:
  
  If the maximum lot size is too restrictive, consider adjusting it in the source of supply settings. This can be done in the relevant configuration settings for the source of supply.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters in APO to ensure they are set correctly and align with the supply chain constraints.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing lot sizes and order splitting in APO.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above settings, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or MD02 (MRP Run) to analyze the situation further.
  APO Configuration: Understanding the configuration of APO, especially in relation to order management and supply chain planning, can be beneficial.
  Lot Size Types: Familiarize yourself with different lot size types (e.g., fixed lot size, lot-for-lot) and how they impact order processing.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your order processing aligns with the defined supply constraints.
