• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPO_OPT058 - Cannot split orders. Source &1 has a fixed consumption ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPO_OPT058 Cannot split orders. Source &1 has a fixed consumption typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to split production or procurement orders. This error indicates that the source of supply (like a production plant or vendor) has a fixed consumption setting, which prevents the system from splitting the orders.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Consumption Setting: The source of supply has been configured with a fixed consumption setting. This means that the system expects the entire order quantity to be consumed in a specific manner, and splitting the order would violate this configuration.
  Order Type Restrictions: Certain order types may have restrictions that prevent splitting due to business rules or settings in the system.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the product or source of supply may not allow for order splitting.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fixed Consumption Settings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant master data (like the product or source of supply) and check if the fixed consumption setting is enabled.
  If it is not necessary for your business process, consider changing this setting to allow for order splitting.
  
  
  
  Review Order Types:
  
  Check the configuration of the order types involved. Ensure that the order types allow for splitting if that is required for your process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters for the product in question. Ensure that they are set up to allow for order splitting if that is needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific settings related to fixed consumption and order splitting.

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 (for checking master data) or /SAPAPO/OPT1 (for order management) to investigate the issue further.
  Customizing Settings: The settings for fixed consumption and order splitting can often be found in the customizing transaction SPRO under the relevant sections for APO and order management.
  Testing Changes: After making any changes, it is advisable to test the order splitting functionality in a development or quality assurance environment before applying changes to the production system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to allow for order splitting as needed.
