• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPO_OPT060 - Order quantity increased from &1 to min. lot size &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPO_OPT060 indicates that the order quantity for a production or procurement order has been increased from a specified quantity (&1) to the minimum lot size (&2). This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, where the system enforces certain constraints on order quantities based on predefined lot sizes.
  Cause:
  
  Minimum Lot Size Configuration: The minimum lot size is defined in the material master or in the production version. If the calculated order quantity is less than this minimum lot size, the system automatically increases the order quantity to meet this requirement.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the APO system, such as lot size settings, may dictate that orders cannot be created below a certain quantity.
  Demand and Supply Mismatch: If the demand for a product is low, the system may still attempt to create an order, but if it falls below the minimum lot size, it will trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Lot Size Settings: Check the material master data and production version settings to ensure that the minimum lot size is set correctly. If necessary, adjust the minimum lot size to better align with your production or procurement needs.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If the minimum lot size is appropriate, consider adjusting the planning parameters or demand forecasts to ensure that the order quantities are more aligned with the minimum lot size.
  Modify Demand: If the demand is consistently low, consider whether it is feasible to adjust the demand or to consolidate orders to meet the minimum lot size.
  Use Alternative Sourcing: If applicable, explore alternative sourcing strategies that may allow for smaller order quantities without triggering the minimum lot size constraint.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the affected material, particularly the lot size settings in the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) view.
  Production Version: Check the production version for the material to ensure that the lot size settings are appropriate for the production process.
  APO Configuration: Review the APO configuration settings related to lot sizing and order creation to ensure they align with business requirements.
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to this error message.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes and adjusting the relevant settings, you can resolve the error and ensure that order quantities are managed effectively within the SAP APO system.
