• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PINV091 - Round EOQ to largest pack size (&1, &2-VCL) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PINV091 is related to the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module in SAP, specifically concerning the calculation of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and its rounding to the largest pack size. This error typically occurs when the calculated EOQ does not align with the packaging constraints defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  EOQ Calculation: The EOQ is calculated based on demand, holding costs, and ordering costs. If the calculated EOQ is not a multiple of the largest pack size, the system raises this error.
  Pack Size Configuration: The largest pack size for the material may not be properly configured in the material master or in the APO settings.
  Demand Fluctuations: Changes in demand or supply chain parameters can lead to a situation where the EOQ does not fit the defined pack sizes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the pack sizes are correctly defined in the material master. Go to the material master record and verify the packaging data.
  Adjust EOQ Settings: If necessary, adjust the EOQ calculation settings in the APO system to ensure that it considers the largest pack size.
  Rounding Settings: Review the rounding settings in the APO configuration. You may need to adjust the rounding rules to ensure that EOQ calculations align with the pack sizes.
  Manual Adjustment: If the EOQ is not critical, you can manually adjust the order quantity to match the largest pack size.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to EOQ and packaging.
