• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP036 - Changed purchase order qty at &1 (round to pack size or quota arr.) &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP036 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a discrepancy between the planned order quantity and the purchase order quantity due to rounding to pack size or quota arrangement. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Rounding to Pack Size: The system is trying to adjust the purchase order quantity to match the defined pack size. If the quantity does not conform to the pack size, the system will round it up or down, which can lead to this error.
  Quota Arrangement: If there is a quota arrangement in place, the system may be trying to allocate quantities based on the defined quotas, which can also lead to discrepancies if the planned order quantity does not align with the quota distribution.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or in the APO settings that are causing the system to behave unexpectedly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Pack Size: Review the material master data to ensure that the pack size is correctly defined. Adjust the purchase order quantity to match the pack size if necessary.
  Review Quota Arrangements: Check the quota arrangements for the material in question. Ensure that the quotas are set up correctly and that the planned order quantity can be allocated according to these quotas.
  Adjust Order Quantity: If the planned order quantity is not a multiple of the pack size, consider adjusting the order quantity to a value that conforms to the pack size.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how to handle this error in your version of SAP.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the discrepancy is occurring. This may involve looking at the planning run logs or analyzing the specific order in question.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for planning board) or /SAPAPO/MC90 (for quota arrangement) to analyze the situation further.

  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
