    SAP Error Message:
    WG087 - No maximum order qty check possible. Material &, supplying plant &, Un &


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to perform a maximum order quantity check during procurement or production order processing, but the necessary data for this check is missing or incomplete.

    Specifically, the system cannot find or determine the maximum order quantity for the given material, supplying plant, and unit of measure (Un). This usually happens because:

    • The maximum order quantity is not maintained in the relevant master data.
    • The configuration or master data related to maximum order quantity checks is incomplete or missing.
    • The unit of measure used in the transaction does not match or is not properly converted to the unit of measure in the master data.
    • The material or plant combination is not set up for maximum order quantity checks.

    Where does this check happen?

    • In purchasing documents (e.g., Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order)
    • In production orders or process orders
    • In MRP or other procurement planning processes

    How to solve the issue:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material).
      • Navigate to the Purchasing view.
      • Check if the Maximum Order Quantity is maintained for the material.
      • Also check the Unit of Measure used for the maximum order quantity and ensure it matches the unit used in the transaction.
    2. Check Plant Data:

      • Verify that the supplying plant is correctly maintained and linked to the material.
      • Ensure that the plant-specific data for the material includes maximum order quantity if applicable.
    3. Check Configuration:

      • In some cases, the maximum order quantity check is controlled via customizing.
      • Check the settings in SPRO under:
        • Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Purchase Order ? Define Order Quantity Limits
      • Ensure that the maximum order quantity check is activated and properly configured.
    4. Unit of Measure Consistency:

      • Verify that the unit of measure in the purchasing document matches the unit of measure in the material master or that proper conversion factors exist.
      • Use transaction CUNI to check unit of measure conversions if needed.
    5. Check for User Exits or Enhancements:

      • Sometimes custom code or user exits may influence the maximum order quantity check.
      • Review any custom developments that might affect this check.

    Additional Information:

    • Message Text:
      "No maximum order qty check possible. Material & (material number), supplying plant & (plant), Un & (unit of measure)."
