• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPM_MAINTAIN112 - You cannot use a scrap level of more than 100% (activity: &1 &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPM_MAINTAIN112 indicates that there is an attempt to set a scrap level that exceeds 100% for a specific activity in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when configuring production processes or during planning activities.
  Cause:
  
  Scrap Level Definition: The scrap level is defined as a percentage of the total production quantity that is expected to be scrapped or lost during the production process. A scrap level greater than 100% is logically incorrect, as it implies that more than the entire production quantity is expected to be scrapped.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the production process or in the master data settings where the scrap level has been incorrectly set.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have inadvertently entered a scrap level greater than 100% while maintaining production data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Scrap Level Settings: Check the scrap level settings for the specific activity mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the scrap level is set to a value between 0% and 100%.
  Adjust Master Data: If the scrap level is defined in the material master or production version, navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., MM02 for material master) and correct the scrap level.
  Check Production Orders: If the error occurs during the creation or maintenance of production orders, review the order details and ensure that the scrap level is within the acceptable range.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly set scrap levels in your specific context.
  User Training: If this error is frequently encountered, consider providing additional training to users on how to correctly enter and maintain production data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), CO01 (Create Production Order), and MM02 (Change Material).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address underlying issues.
  System Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to production planning and scrap handling to ensure they align with business processes.
