• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OUTLDET024 - There can only be one entry that has an infinite lower limit ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OUTLDET024 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the planning object in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, the error states that there can only be one entry that has an infinite lower limit in the context of the planning object.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when you have defined multiple entries in a planning object (like a resource, product, or location) that have an infinite lower limit for a certain characteristic (like capacity, demand, etc.). In SAP APO, an infinite lower limit is often used to indicate that there is no lower bound on the value, but the system only allows one such entry to avoid ambiguity in planning calculations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Planning Object Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant planning object (e.g., resource, product, etc.) in the SAP APO system.
  Check the entries that have been defined for the characteristic in question.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicate Infinite Lower Limits:
  
  Look for multiple entries that have been set with an infinite lower limit. This could be in the form of capacity settings, demand settings, or any other relevant configuration.
  
  
  
  Modify the Entries:
  
  You need to either remove the duplicate entries or modify them to ensure that only one entry has an infinite lower limit. You can set a finite lower limit for the other entries as appropriate.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and re-run the planning process to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation for SAP APO for more details on planning object configuration and limits.
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for planning book) or /SAPAPO/RES01 (for resource) to access and modify the relevant settings.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in APO.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and correct the configuration issue that is causing the error message /SAPAPO/OUTLDET024.
