• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG363 - Result of last iteration rejected. Target restriction exceeded ?

  The SAP error message:
  WG363 - Result of last iteration rejected. Target restriction exceeded
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or Planning functions (such as in SAP APO or other planning tools) where iterative calculations or processing steps are performed.
  
  Cause
  
  The error indicates that during an iterative process (e.g., planning, workflow iteration, or calculation), the result of the last iteration was rejected because it exceeded a predefined target restriction or limit.
  This means that the system has a constraint or threshold set for the result values, and the iteration produced a value outside this allowed range.
  Common scenarios:
  
  In SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization), during heuristic or optimizer runs, the solution violates target restrictions (e.g., supply/demand constraints, capacity limits).
  In workflow or batch processing, iterative steps produce results that do not meet validation criteria or exceed configured limits.
  
  
  The system rejects the iteration result to prevent invalid or infeasible data from being accepted.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Target Restrictions / Constraints:
  
  Review the target restrictions or limits configured in the planning or workflow setup.
  In APO, check the planning book, data slices, or heuristics settings for any constraints that might be too tight or incorrectly defined.
  Adjust the target restrictions if they are too restrictive or incorrect.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Iteration Logic:
  
  Verify the logic or algorithm used in the iterative process.
  Ensure that the input data and parameters are correct and consistent.
  Check if the iteration step is expected to produce results within the allowed range.
  
  
  
  Review Data Consistency:
  
  Check the master data and transactional data involved in the process.
  Look for anomalies or inconsistencies that might cause the iteration to fail.
  
  
  
  Increase Allowed Limits (if applicable):
  
  If the target restriction is a configurable parameter, consider increasing the allowed limits to accommodate realistic results.
  
  
  
  Debug or Trace the Process:
  
  Use SAP debugging or trace tools to identify exactly where and why the iteration result is rejected.
  Look for detailed logs or dumps related to the error.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to message WG363 for your specific module (e.g., APO, Workflow).
  Apply any relevant patches or corrections.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  SAP APO Planning: In APO, target restrictions are often set in the planning book or heuristic profiles to control the planning results.
  Workflow Iterations: In workflow scenarios, iterative steps may have validation rules that reject results exceeding thresholds.
  Message Class WG: The message class WG is often related to workflow or planning functions.
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the module, transactions like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (heuristics), /SAPAPO/OM17 (planning book), or workflow transaction codes may be relevant.
  SAP Help and Documentation: Refer to SAP Help Portal for your specific module and version for detailed explanations of target restrictions and iterative processing.
