How To Fix CY722 - Order & operation & lies outside float before prod. + operation float

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CY - Capacity Requirements Planning

• Message number: 722

• Message text: Order & operation & lies outside float before prod. + operation float

What causes this issue?

An operation is to be dispatched so that it lies outside the float
before production and the operation float. However in the strategy
profile in Customizing for capacity planning the indicator <ZH>Use
float bef. prod.</> is set. This is used to specify that the planning
result only counts as free from error if the operation lies within the
operation float and the float before production.

How to fix this error?

Reschedule the operation if necessary or
reschedule another commitment so as to increase available capacity.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY722 - Order & operation & lies outside float before prod. + operation float ?

  The SAP error message CY722 indicates that there is an issue with the scheduling of an order and its operations in relation to the available float time. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and scheduling, particularly when using the Capacity Planning and Production Order Management modules.
  Cause:
  The error message CY722 occurs when:
  
  Order and Operation Scheduling: The scheduled start or finish time of an operation is outside the allowable float time defined for that operation. Float time refers to the amount of time that you can delay a task without affecting the overall project timeline.
  Capacity Constraints: There may be capacity constraints that prevent the operation from being scheduled within the available float.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the production order or the routing may not align with the available resources or time frames.
  Lead Times: The lead times defined for the operations may not be sufficient to accommodate the scheduling requirements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CY722 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Operation Scheduling:
  
  Review the scheduling of the operations in the production order. Ensure that the start and finish times are within the allowable float time.
  Adjust the scheduling parameters if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Float Time Settings:
  
  Check the float time settings for the operations in the routing. Ensure that they are set correctly and that there is enough float time available.
  
  
  
  Capacity Planning:
  
  Analyze the capacity of the work centers involved. Ensure that there are enough resources available to perform the operations within the required time frame.
  If necessary, adjust the capacity planning settings or reschedule the operations to fit within the available capacity.
  
  
  
  Adjust Lead Times:
  
  Review and adjust the lead times for the operations if they are too tight. Ensure that they allow for the necessary float.
  
  
  
  Re-schedule the Order:
  
  If the above adjustments do not resolve the issue, consider re-scheduling the entire production order to a time frame that accommodates the operations and their float times.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling scheduling errors and understanding float time settings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to production order management (e.g., CO02 for changing production orders, COHV for mass processing).
  Training: Consider training or workshops on SAP production planning and scheduling to better understand how to manage float times and scheduling constraints.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the CY722 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
