  The SAP error message /SCMUI/RRP_EPP014 Minimum lot size greater than maximum lot size typically occurs in the context of production planning and control within the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error indicates that the defined minimum lot size for a product is greater than the maximum lot size, which is logically inconsistent and prevents the system from processing the planning run correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Error: The minimum lot size and maximum lot size settings in the material master or in the planning parameters are incorrectly configured.
  Data Entry Mistake: During the setup of the material or in the planning parameters, the values for minimum and maximum lot sizes may have been entered incorrectly.
  Master Data Issues: The issue may arise from inconsistencies in the master data for the product, such as in the material master record or in the production version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the lot size settings under the relevant views (e.g., MRP view).
  Ensure that the minimum lot size is less than or equal to the maximum lot size.
  
  
  
  Adjust Lot Size Settings:
  
  If the minimum lot size is indeed greater than the maximum lot size, adjust the values accordingly. You can do this in the material master (transaction code MM02) or in the relevant planning parameters.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Check the planning parameters in the APO system to ensure that they are set correctly. This includes reviewing the settings in the SNP (Supply Network Planning) or PP/DS (Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling) areas.
  
  
  
  Validate Production Versions:
  
  If applicable, check the production versions for the material to ensure that they are correctly defined and that the lot sizes are consistent.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on lot size settings and their implications in the planning process.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run the planning process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
