  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_PT655 Lot size &1 is larger than the maximum lot size in production version &2 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a discrepancy between the lot size defined in the planning run and the maximum lot size specified in the production version of a material.
  Cause:
  
  
  Lot Size Configuration: The lot size being proposed for production or procurement is greater than the maximum lot size defined in the production version for that material. This can happen if:
  
  The planning parameters have been set incorrectly.
  The production version has not been updated to reflect the current planning requirements.
  There are changes in demand that exceed the maximum lot size.
  
  
  
  Production Version Settings: The production version may have specific constraints that limit the maximum lot size, which is not aligned with the current planning run.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Production Version:
  
  Check the production version for the material in question. Go to the transaction code C223 (or C201 for creating/updating production versions) and verify the maximum lot size defined.
  If necessary, adjust the maximum lot size in the production version to accommodate the planned lot size.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters in the APO system. Ensure that the lot size settings in the planning book or the key figure settings are appropriate for the production version.
  You may need to adjust the lot size settings in the planning profile or the planning strategy.
  
  
  
  Change Demand or Supply:
  
  If the demand has changed significantly, consider adjusting the demand management settings or the forecast to align with the production capabilities.
