• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6P062 - Entry not possible due to different calendars ?

  The SAP error message 6P062 ("Entry not possible due to different calendars") typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the calendars used in different components of the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to create or modify a planning or scheduling entry that involves different organizational units or resources that are set up with different calendars.
  Cause:
  
  Different Work Calendars: The error often arises when the work calendars for the involved organizational units (e.g., plants, work centers) or resources (e.g., employees, machines) are not aligned. For example, one unit may be using a standard calendar while another is using a holiday calendar.
  Planning Versions: If you are working with different planning versions that have different calendar settings, this can also lead to the error.
  Resource Availability: If a resource is not available on a certain date due to its calendar settings, it can prevent scheduling or planning activities.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Calendar Settings: Review the calendar settings for the involved organizational units and resources. Ensure that they are consistent and compatible. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  
  For work centers, check the work calendar in the work center master data.
  For plants, check the factory calendar settings.
  
  
  Align Calendars: If necessary, align the calendars by either changing the calendar of one of the units/resources or creating a new calendar that accommodates both.
  Use the Same Planning Version: Ensure that you are using the same planning version that has compatible calendar settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps on how to adjust calendar settings in your version of SAP.
  Testing: After making changes, test the entry again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CR01 (Create Work Center), CR02 (Change Work Center), or SPRO (to access the configuration settings) to check and modify calendar settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to calendar settings, as this may be restricted based on user roles.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and aligning the calendars, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
