• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W/094 - Planned sales quantity is not within the allowed value range ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W/094 Planned sales quantity is not within the allowed value range
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when the planned sales quantity entered in a sales planning or forecasting transaction is outside the predefined allowed value range. The system checks the quantity against minimum and maximum limits set for the material or planning scenario, and if the quantity is too low or too high, this warning is triggered.
  Common reasons include:  
  
  The planned sales quantity exceeds the maximum allowed quantity or is below the minimum allowed quantity defined in the system.  
  Incorrect or missing configuration of allowed quantity ranges in the sales planning or forecasting settings.  
  Data entry errors where the quantity is mistakenly entered with wrong units or decimal places.  
  Custom validations or user-exits that enforce quantity limits.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Allowed Quantity Ranges:  
  
  Review the configuration for allowed quantity ranges in the relevant planning or forecasting module. This could be in the material master, sales planning profiles, or custom settings.  
  Adjust the minimum and maximum allowed values if business requirements have changed.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Entry:  
  
  Ensure that the planned sales quantity is entered correctly with the right unit of measure and decimal places.  
  Correct any obvious data entry mistakes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Data:  
  
  If the planned quantity is genuinely outside the allowed range, revise the sales plan to fit within the acceptable limits or update the limits accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code:  
  
  If there are user-exits, BADIs, or custom validations implemented, verify that they are not incorrectly restricting the quantity range.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:  
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide patches related to this warning.
