• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PINV090 - Round EOQ to largest pack size (&1, &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PINV090 indicates that there is an issue with the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) calculation in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, this error occurs when the calculated EOQ does not align with the largest pack size defined for the product.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch Between EOQ and Pack Size: The EOQ calculated for a product is smaller than the largest pack size defined in the system. This can happen if the EOQ is based on demand forecasts, lead times, and costs that do not take into account the packaging constraints.
  Configuration Issues: The settings for the product in the APO system may not be correctly configured, leading to discrepancies in the EOQ calculation.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as incorrect pack sizes or unit of measure settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust EOQ Calculation: Review the EOQ calculation parameters and ensure that they are set correctly. You may need to adjust the parameters to ensure that the EOQ is at least equal to the largest pack size.
  Update Pack Size: If the largest pack size is not appropriate, consider updating the pack size in the material master data to reflect the correct packaging.
  Review Master Data: Check the material master data for the product in question. Ensure that the unit of measure, pack sizes, and other relevant settings are correctly defined.
  Use Rounding Options: If applicable, you can configure the system to round the EOQ to the nearest pack size. This can often be done in the APO settings or through the use of user exits or BAdIs (Business Add-Ins).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring EOQ and pack sizes in your version of SAP APO.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 (for planning book) or /SAPAPO/MDP1 (for product master) to review and adjust settings.
