• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER115 - Production process model/PDS &1: Discrete lot size not considered ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER115 indicates that there is an issue with the production process model (PDS) for a specific material in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. The message specifically states that the discrete lot size is not being considered for the given PDS.
  Cause:
  
  
  Discrete Lot Size Configuration: The error typically arises when the discrete lot size settings for the material are not properly configured in the PDS. This can happen if:
  
  The lot size is not defined in the PDS.
  The lot size is set to a value that is incompatible with the production process.
  The PDS is not set up to handle discrete lot sizes.
  
  
  
  PDS Settings: The PDS may not have the necessary parameters defined to accommodate discrete lot sizes, such as minimum and maximum lot sizes or the lot size increment.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data related to the material, such as the material master or the production version.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check PDS Configuration:
  
  Go to the PDS in the APO system and verify that the discrete lot size is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the lot size parameters (minimum, maximum, and increment) are set appropriately.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data in the SAP ERP system to ensure that the lot size settings are correctly defined.
  Make sure that the production version associated with the material is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  If necessary, adjust the planning parameters in the APO system to ensure that they align with the discrete lot size requirements.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update PDS:
  
  If the PDS is not configured correctly, consider recreating or updating the PDS to include the necessary lot size information.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring discrete lot sizes in the PDS.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/PDS to access and modify the PDS settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error message.
  APO Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in APO related to production planning and lot sizing to prevent similar issues in the future.
