• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RET_MESSAGES148 - Minimum must be blank ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RET_MESSAGES148 Minimum must be blank typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with planning data, particularly in the context of setting up or maintaining planning books, key figures, or planning scenarios.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that a minimum value has been set for a key figure or characteristic where it is not allowed or expected. In many cases, certain key figures in APO are designed to be flexible and do not require a minimum value to be defined. If a minimum value is specified when it should not be, the system will trigger this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration of the key figure that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the minimum value is set to blank or is not defined if it is not required.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Book Configuration:
  
  If the error occurs while working with a planning book, check the configuration of the planning book and the key figures included in it.
  Make sure that the key figures are correctly defined and that any minimum values are appropriately set.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Entry:
  
  If you are entering data manually, ensure that you are not inadvertently entering a minimum value where it should be left blank.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific key figure or planning book you are working with to understand the requirements for minimum values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration by trying to save or execute the planning book again to see if the error persists.
