• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP757 - Relative position excludes exact position and vice versa ?

  The SAP error message CP757 ("Relative position excludes exact position and vice versa") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Capacity Planning or Production Planning modules. This error arises when there is a conflict in the way that capacity or production resources are defined, particularly when dealing with relative and exact positioning of operations or resources.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Settings: The error usually indicates that there are conflicting settings in the capacity planning configuration. For example, if a resource is set to have both relative and exact positioning, it can lead to this error.
  Resource Definition Issues: The way resources are defined in the system may not align with the requirements of the production order or planning scenario.
  Planning Parameters: Incorrect or inconsistent planning parameters can also trigger this error, especially if they are set in a way that does not allow for both relative and exact positioning.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Resource Settings: Review the settings for the resources involved in the planning scenario. Ensure that they are not configured to require both relative and exact positioning simultaneously.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Go to the planning parameters and ensure that they are set correctly. You may need to adjust the settings to either use relative positioning or exact positioning, but not both.
  Review Production Orders: If the error occurs during the processing of a production order, check the order details to ensure that the operations and resources are correctly defined and do not conflict.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring capacity planning and resource definitions.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration by attempting to run the planning scenario again to see if the error persists.
