• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUSH008 - Lot size adjusted to lot-size range of the source of supply ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUSH008 indicates that the lot size for a planned order or production order has been adjusted to fit within the defined lot size range of the source of supply. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) in SAP, particularly when dealing with procurement or production planning.
  Cause:
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The source of supply (vendor or production resource) has a defined lot size range (minimum and maximum lot sizes). If the planned order quantity falls outside this range, SAP will automatically adjust the quantity to comply with the defined limits.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set for the product or material may dictate specific lot sizes that do not align with the planned order quantity.
  Demand Fluctuations: Changes in demand or forecasted requirements may lead to planned orders that do not match the lot size constraints.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Lot Size Settings: Check the lot size settings for the source of supply in the material master or vendor master. Ensure that the minimum and maximum lot sizes are appropriate for your planning needs.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If necessary, adjust the planning parameters for the material in APO to allow for more flexibility in lot sizes. This may include changing the lot size type or adjusting the settings in the planning book.
  Modify Planned Orders: If the planned order quantity is critical, consider manually adjusting the planned order to fit within the lot size range or changing the source of supply to one with a more suitable lot size range.
  Check Demand Management: Ensure that the demand management settings are aligned with the production or procurement strategy. This may involve reviewing forecasts and demand planning processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on lot size management and adjustments in APO.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Lot Size Types: Familiarize yourself with different lot size types in SAP, such as fixed lot size, lot-for-lot, and economic order quantity (EOQ).
  APO Configuration: Understanding the configuration settings in APO for planning books, key figures, and planning strategies can help in managing lot sizes effectively.
  Error Handling: If this error frequently occurs, consider implementing a review process for planned orders to ensure they align with supply constraints before they are released for execution.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes and adjusting the relevant settings, you can mitigate the occurrence of this error and improve the efficiency of your planning processes in SAP.
