• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC362 - Purchase order quantity for PL item &1 &2 has been recalculated ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Message:
  WRF_APC362 Purchase order quantity for PL item &1 &2 has been recalculated
  
  1. Cause:
  This message occurs in the context of Production Planning (PP) and Variant Configuration (VC), specifically when dealing with Process Orders or Production Orders that include Phantom Items (PL items) or Production Lots (PL items).
  
  The system detects that the purchase order quantity for a phantom item (or a similar item type) has been recalculated automatically.
  This recalculation happens because the quantity originally planned or entered does not match the quantity required based on the current configuration or BOM (Bill of Materials).
  The recalculation ensures that the purchase order quantity aligns with the actual requirements derived from the configuration or production order.
  
  In other words:
  
  The system adjusts the purchase order quantity for a phantom item to reflect the correct quantity needed for production, based on the current BOM or configuration.
  
  2. Solution:
  
  
  Review the recalculated quantity:
  
  Check the recalculated quantity for the phantom item in the purchase order or production order. Ensure that this quantity is correct and consistent with your production requirements.
  
  
  Check BOM and configuration:
  
  Verify the BOM and variant configuration to ensure that the quantities and dependencies are correctly maintained. Incorrect BOM or configuration can cause unexpected recalculations.
  
  
  Adjust master data if necessary:
  
  If the recalculation is unexpected or incorrect, review and correct the master data for the phantom item, including:
  
  BOM components and quantities
  Routing or recipe details
  Variant configuration settings
  
  
  
  Accept the recalculation:
  
  Often, this message is informational or a warning indicating that the system has adjusted quantities to maintain consistency. If the recalculated quantity is correct, no further action is needed.
  
  
  Check customizing settings:
  
  In some cases, the behavior can be influenced by settings in the configuration of the production process or variant configuration. Consult with your SAP PP/VC consultant if needed.
