• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SOR315 - Retention qty at loc. &1 is less that qty of existing scrapping orders ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SOR315 indicates that the retention quantity at a specific location (denoted by &1) is less than the quantity of existing scrapping orders. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with stock levels and scrapping orders.
  Cause:
  
  Retention Quantity: The retention quantity is the amount of stock that is reserved for scrapping or other purposes. If the retention quantity is set too low, it cannot accommodate the existing scrapping orders.
  Scrapping Orders: There may be scrapping orders that have been created but not yet processed, which require more stock than what is currently retained.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the location or the settings related to retention quantities in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Increase Retention Quantity: Adjust the retention quantity for the location in question to ensure it is greater than or equal to the quantity of existing scrapping orders. This can typically be done in the material master or through the relevant configuration settings in APO.
  Review Scrapping Orders: Check the existing scrapping orders to see if they can be modified or if any can be canceled if they are no longer needed.
  Stock Management: Ensure that stock levels are managed properly and that there is enough stock available to cover both the retention quantity and any scrapping orders.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific steps on how to adjust retention quantities and manage scrapping orders.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or MD02 (MRP Run) to analyze stock levels and requirements.
  APO Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in APO related to stock management and retention quantities.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect how retention quantities are calculated or managed.
  
  By addressing the retention quantity and ensuring it aligns with the scrapping orders, you should be able to resolve the error message /SAPAPO/SOR315.
