Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP061 - Throughput time minus GR processing time < 0 (location &1 product &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP061 indicates that there is an issue with the throughput time being less than the goods receipt (GR) processing time for a specific location and product. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, particularly in the Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning modules.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the calculated throughput time (the time it takes to process an order from start to finish) is less than the goods receipt processing time (the time it takes to receive and process goods into inventory). This situation is logically inconsistent because it implies that the order cannot be completed in the time it takes to receive the goods.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Incorrect Master Data: The throughput time or GR processing time may be incorrectly defined in the master data for the product or location.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that lead to incorrect calculations of these times.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set for the product or location may not be aligned with the actual operational capabilities.
  Changes in Processes: Changes in the production or logistics processes that have not been reflected in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Review the master data for the product and location in question. Ensure that the throughput time and GR processing time are set correctly.
  Verify that the lead times, processing times, and any other relevant parameters are accurate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  If the throughput time is indeed less than the GR processing time, consider adjusting the planning parameters to reflect the actual operational capabilities.
  You may need to increase the throughput time or decrease the GR processing time based on realistic operational data.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that they are set up correctly for the specific product and location.
  Ensure that any relevant settings in the APO configuration (like time buckets, planning horizons, etc.) are appropriate.
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  Engage with production, logistics, and planning teams to understand any recent changes in processes that may not have been updated in the system.
  Collaborate with these teams to gather accurate data for throughput and GR processing times.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, run tests to ensure that the changes resolve the error and that the planning runs as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to master data or configuration for future reference and to help prevent similar issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 (to check master data) or /SAPAPO/DP90 (to analyze planning results) to investigate further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Training: Consider training for users involved in master data management and planning to ensure they understand how to set and maintain these parameters correctly.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
