  Error Message
  WRF_APC113: Enter a PLID with no more than 10 characters
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the PLID (Production Line ID) field in the SAP system is being populated with a value that exceeds the maximum allowed length of 10 characters. The system enforces a length restriction on the PLID field, and if the input string is longer than 10 characters, it triggers this error.
  
  Explanation
  
  PLID is typically used in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or related modules to identify production lines.
  The field length for PLID is defined as 10 characters in the system configuration or database table.
  Entering a PLID longer than 10 characters violates this constraint, causing the system to reject the input.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the PLID value you are entering:
  
  Ensure that the PLID does not exceed 10 characters.
  If you are copying the PLID from another source, verify its length.
  
  
  
  Adjust the PLID:
  
  Shorten the PLID to 10 characters or fewer.
  Use abbreviations or codes that fit within the 10-character limit.
  
  
  
  If longer PLIDs are required:
  
  Review the business requirement for PLID length.
  Consult with your SAP technical team or Basis team to check if the field length can be extended in the database and related data dictionary objects (e.g., domain or data element).
  Note: Extending the field length may require significant development and testing, as it can impact interfaces, reports, and other dependent objects.
  
  
  
  Check related master data:
  
  If the PLID is coming from master data (e.g., production line master), ensure that the master data entries comply with the length restriction.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  SAP Module: This error is commonly seen in SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization), Production Planning (PP), or related modules where production line IDs are used.
  Data Element/Domain: The PLID field is usually defined with a data element that restricts the length to 10 characters.
  Transaction Codes: The error might appear during data entry in transactions related to production line setup or planning.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or OSS messages for any patches or updates related to PLID length restrictions.
  Customizing: Sometimes, the length restriction is hardcoded in custom validations or user exits; review any custom code if applicable.
