• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY749 - Order & operation &: Finish date limit exceeded ?

  The SAP error message CY749 ("Order & operation &: Finish date limit exceeded") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with production orders and operations in SAP. This error indicates that the finish date for a specific operation in a production order has exceeded the allowable limits set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Date Constraints: The finish date of the operation is beyond the permissible limits defined in the system settings. This could be due to:
  
  The operation is scheduled to finish later than the planned finish date.
  The operation is not aligned with the overall production schedule.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the production planning module may have constraints that limit the finish dates of operations based on various factors such as lead times, work center availability, or resource constraints.
  
  
  Changes in Production Schedule: If there have been recent changes to the production schedule or delays in preceding operations, this can lead to a situation where the finish date of an operation is no longer valid.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Operation Dates: Check the operation dates in the production order. Ensure that the finish date is within the acceptable limits. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the production order in SAP and reviewing the operation details.
  Adjusting the dates if necessary.
  
  
  
  Adjust Scheduling Parameters: If the finish date is indeed valid but exceeds the limits, consider adjusting the scheduling parameters in the configuration settings. This may involve:
  
  Modifying the lead times or float times in the work center settings.
  Reviewing and adjusting the production scheduling profiles.
  
  
  
  Re-schedule the Order: If the production order has been delayed, you may need to re-schedule the order. This can be done by:
  
  Using the transaction code CO02 (Change Production Order) to adjust the scheduling.
  Re-evaluating the sequence of operations to ensure they align with the overall production plan.
  
  
  
  Consult with Production Planning Team: If you are unsure about the changes to make, consult with your production planning team or SAP support team to ensure that any adjustments made are in line with overall production goals.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO01 (Create Production Order), CO02 (Change Production Order), and CO03 (Display Production Order) for managing production orders.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on production order management and scheduling to understand the underlying configurations and best practices.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CY749 error and ensure that your production operations are scheduled correctly.
