• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER122 - Transportation lane &1: Discreteness not considered ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER122 indicates that there is an issue with the transportation lane configuration in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, specifically related to the handling of discrete quantities in transportation planning.
  Cause:
  The error message typically arises when the optimizer encounters a transportation lane that is not set up to handle discrete quantities. This can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Transportation Lane Configuration: The transportation lane may not be configured to allow for discrete quantities, which are often required for certain types of products or when dealing with specific transportation methods.
  Product Master Data: The product master data may not be set up correctly, particularly the settings related to handling units or packaging.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the optimizer may not be set to consider discrete quantities, leading to this error when the optimizer attempts to process the transportation lane.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transportation Lane Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/TS (Transportation Lane) and review the configuration of the transportation lane in question.
  Ensure that the lane is set up to handle discrete quantities. You may need to adjust the settings to allow for this.
  
  
  
  Review Product Master Data:
  
  Check the product master data for the products involved in the transportation lane. Ensure that the handling unit and packaging settings are correctly defined.
  Make sure that the product is set up to allow for discrete quantities if that is required for your planning scenario.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters in the optimizer settings. Ensure that the parameters are configured to consider discrete quantities.
  You may need to adjust the optimizer profile or the planning area settings to include discrete handling.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on configuring transportation lanes and handling discrete quantities.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run the optimizer again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation into the specific configuration and data may be required.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
