Symptom
MRP run terminates with the error message 61098 "Maximum no. of order proposals per deadline exceeded".
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud
Cause
The error message "Maximum no. of order proposals per deadline exceeded" is raised up because MRP is generating more planned orders/purchase requisitions for a single material on a single day than it is allowed by customizing.
This customizing can be checked in transaction code OMDY from the backend system and it is currectly not configurable for public cloud system. By default, the value is set as 50 on a plant level, which means if more than 50 order proposals are generated for a material on a single day during the MRP run, the error will occur.
Usually, the following 2 prerequisites are met when you get the error:
1. You have maintained a "maximum lot size" for the material in the master data.
2. The requirement in a single day is very high or the maximum lot size is very small.
For example, the requirement on 06.01 is 1000 and the maximum lot size of the material is 10. In order to fulfill the requirement, the MRP will propose 100 planned orders on that day, which will cause the error.
Resolution
Please make sure that not so much planned orders are created for the material on a single day.
For example, you shuold avoid using a maximum lot size. If you have to use it, please set it to a proper value and avoid a very high requirement on a single day.
