• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP_APPR163 - Total value &1 of PR &2 exceeds allowed maximum value &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP_APPR163 indicates that the total value of a planned order (PR) exceeds the allowed maximum value set in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with demand planning or production planning.
  Cause:
  
  
  Exceeding Limits: The total value of the planned order (PR) exceeds the maximum limit defined in the system configuration. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrectly configured maximum values in the planning parameters.
  An unusually high demand or production requirement that surpasses the set limits.
  Data entry errors leading to inflated values.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The maximum value might be set too low for the current business needs, or there may be inconsistencies in the configuration settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for maximum values in the relevant planning area. This can typically be found in the APO system under the planning parameters.
  Adjust the maximum value settings if they are too restrictive for your current planning needs.
  
  
  
  Analyze Demand/Production Data:
  
  Review the demand or production data that led to the creation of the planned order. Ensure that the values are accurate and reflect realistic business requirements.
  If the demand is indeed valid but exceeds the limit, consider increasing the maximum allowed value.
  
  
  
  Data Correction:
  
  If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the values in the relevant master data or transaction data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how to adjust planning parameters and maximum values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the planning process again to ensure that the error does not recur.
