• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY212 - The requirement percentages must be either equal or ascending ?

  The SAP error message CY212 indicates that there is an issue with the requirement percentages defined in a planning scenario, typically in the context of capacity planning or production planning. This error occurs when the requirement percentages for a particular planning object (like a production order or a planning run) are not in the expected order. Specifically, the percentages must either be equal or arranged in ascending order.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  The requirement percentages defined for a specific planning object are not in ascending order.
  There are gaps or inconsistencies in the percentage values, meaning that a higher percentage follows a lower one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CY212 error, you should:
  
  
  Review Requirement Percentages: Check the requirement percentages that you have defined for the relevant planning object. Ensure that they are either equal or arranged in ascending order.
  
  
  Adjust Values: If you find that the percentages are not in the correct order, adjust them accordingly. For example:
  
  If you have percentages like 30%, 50%, and 40%, you need to change 40% to either 50% or a value that maintains the ascending order (e.g., 60%).
  
  
  
  Consistency Check: Ensure that there are no duplicate values unless they are meant to be equal. If you have multiple entries with the same percentage, they should be consistent across the planning object.
  
  
  Re-test: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the planning process to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on requirement planning and how to set up percentages correctly.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you are using custom logic or enhancements, ensure that they are not interfering with the requirement percentage logic.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CY212 error and ensure that your requirement percentages are correctly configured for your planning needs.
