• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT115 - Production process model/PDS &1: Discrete lot size not considered ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT115 indicates that there is an issue with the production process model (PDS) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, the error states that the discrete lot size is not being considered for the specified PDS. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Discrete Lot Size Not Defined: The PDS may not have a discrete lot size defined, which is necessary for the planning process to consider the production in discrete quantities.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system or the PDS that prevent the discrete lot size from being recognized.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the material or the production process model may be incomplete or incorrectly set up.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy used may not be compatible with discrete lot sizes, leading to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check PDS Configuration:
  
  Go to the PDS in the APO system and verify that the discrete lot size is correctly defined. Ensure that the lot size parameters are set up properly.
  If necessary, create or modify the PDS to include the discrete lot size.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data and ensure that all relevant fields are filled out correctly, especially those related to lot sizing and production.
  Ensure that the material is set up for discrete manufacturing if that is the intended process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Strategy:
  
  Review the planning strategy assigned to the material. If the strategy does not support discrete lot sizes, consider changing it to one that does.
  Ensure that the strategy aligns with the production process and the requirements of the business.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 to run consistency checks on the PDS and identify any discrepancies that may be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional insights or updates that may address the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide fixes or additional guidance on this error.
  APO Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in APO related to production planning and lot sizing.
  Training and Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP APO expert for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
