  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC616 Calculated &1 &2 is too large; change your entry
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when a calculated value (usually a quantity, amount, or percentage) exceeds the allowed or expected limit during a process involving Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or related modules like PP-PI (Production Planning for Process Industries). The placeholders &1 and &2 represent the specific calculated value and the unit or context, respectively.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Entering a quantity or percentage that is beyond the system's configured maximum.
  Calculations in planning or confirmation steps resulting in values that are not feasible or allowed.
  Data inconsistencies or incorrect master data leading to unrealistic calculations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Input Values:
  
  Review the values you entered manually. Ensure that quantities, percentages, or other numeric inputs are within reasonable and allowed limits.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data and Configuration:
  
  Verify the master data (e.g., BOM, routing, work center capacities) for correctness.
  Check if any limits or tolerances are set in the system that might restrict the values.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Entry:
  
  Modify the input to a smaller or acceptable value as suggested by the error message.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  In some cases, the error might be due to system settings in APO or PP-PI related to quantity tolerances or maximum allowed values.
  Consult with your SAP APO or PP consultant to review these settings.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Detailed Analysis:
  
  If the cause is not obvious, debugging the relevant function module or user exit where the error is raised can help identify why the calculation is exceeding limits.
