  The SAP error message DI_ESD_TOL012 typically indicates that there is a shortage of materials or resources in the third checking horizon of your planning process. This message is part of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, which is used for supply chain management and planning.
  Cause:
  
  Material Shortage: The system has detected that there is not enough stock of a particular material to meet the demand within the specified planning horizon.
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters, such as lead times, safety stock levels, or reorder points, may not be set correctly, leading to shortages.

  Supply Issues: Delays or issues with suppliers can also contribute to material shortages.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Stock Levels: Check the current stock levels of the affected materials to confirm the shortage.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Review and adjust the planning parameters, such as safety stock levels, lead times, and reorder points, to better align with actual demand and supply conditions.
  Increase Supply: If possible, increase the supply of the affected materials by placing urgent orders with suppliers or reallocating stock from other locations.
  Analyze Demand: Look into the demand forecast and adjust it if necessary. Ensure that the forecast is realistic and accounts for any known changes in demand.
  Run MRP: After making adjustments, run the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process again to see if the shortages are resolved.
  Check for Exceptions: Review any exception messages in the planning run to identify other potential issues that may be contributing to the shortage.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or MD02 (MRP Run) to analyze stock levels and run planning processes.
