• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP535 - No. of splits is greater than individual capacities in work center ?

  The SAP error message CP535 ("No. of splits is greater than individual capacities in work center") typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling when the system attempts to split a production order or operation into more components than the available capacity of the work center can handle. This can happen during the scheduling of operations in the production process.
  Cause:
  
  Capacity Constraints: The work center has a defined capacity that is being exceeded by the number of splits being requested for a particular operation.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the work center may not accurately reflect its actual capacity or the number of available resources.
  Production Order Settings: The production order may have been set up in a way that requires more splits than the work center can accommodate.
  Scheduling Parameters: The scheduling parameters for the operation may be set incorrectly, leading to an unrealistic number of splits.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Work Center Capacity:
  
  Check the capacity settings of the work center in transaction code CR02 (Change Work Center).
  Ensure that the available capacity is sufficient for the planned production.
  
  
  
  Adjust Production Order:
  
  Review the production order and its settings. You can do this in transaction code CO02 (Change Production Order).
  Adjust the number of splits or the quantities being produced to align with the work center's capacity.
  
  
  
  Modify Scheduling Parameters:
  
  Check the scheduling parameters for the operation in the routing. Ensure that they are set correctly to avoid excessive splitting.
  You can access the routing in transaction code CA02 (Change Routing).
  
  
  
  Capacity Planning:
  
  If necessary, consider adjusting the capacity planning settings to better reflect the actual capabilities of the work center.
  This may involve increasing the capacity or redistributing workloads among different work centers.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to your version of SAP and the configuration of your system.
