• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPMP/PP_BD002 - Max.prod.length and the fixed scrap first and last lengths contain values ?

  The SAP error message /SAPMP/PP_BD002 typically relates to issues in production planning, specifically concerning the maximum production length and the fixed scrap lengths defined in the production order or routing. This error indicates that the maximum production length is being exceeded when the fixed scrap lengths (both first and last) contain values.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The maximum production length defined in the material master or routing may be set too low compared to the actual production length required when considering the fixed scrap lengths.
  Fixed Scrap Lengths: If the first and last fixed scrap lengths are defined and have values, they are added to the total production length. If the sum of the production length and the fixed scrap lengths exceeds the maximum production length, this error will occur.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be incorrect or unintended values entered for the fixed scrap lengths in the production order or routing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Maximum Production Length: Check the maximum production length defined in the material master or routing. If necessary, increase this value to accommodate the total length required, including fixed scrap lengths.
  
  Navigate to the material master (transaction code MM03) or routing (transaction code CA03) and verify the settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Fixed Scrap Lengths: If the fixed scrap lengths are not necessary or are incorrectly set, consider adjusting or removing them.
  
  You can do this in the routing or production order where the fixed scrap lengths are defined.
  
  
  
  Check Production Order Settings: Review the production order settings to ensure that the lengths are correctly defined and that the order is set up properly.
  
  Use transaction code CO02 to check the production order details.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on setting up production lengths and scrap lengths.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the changes by attempting to create or release the production order again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
