  The SAP error message EWA405, which states "No matching capacity found in chosen period," typically occurs in the context of capacity planning or resource management within SAP systems, particularly in modules like SAP PP (Production Planning) or SAP PM (Plant Maintenance). This error indicates that the system could not find any available capacity for the specified resources during the selected time frame.
  Causes:
  
  Capacity Overload: The resources (work centers, machines, etc.) may be overloaded with existing planned orders or production orders, leaving no available capacity for new requests.
  Incorrect Time Frame: The selected period for which you are trying to find capacity may not align with the availability of the resources.
  Resource Configuration: The work center or resource may not be properly configured, or the capacity settings may not be defined correctly.
  Capacity Planning Settings: The settings for capacity planning may not be correctly set up, leading to discrepancies in available capacity.
  Maintenance or Downtime: The resources may be scheduled for maintenance or downtime during the selected period, resulting in no available capacity.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Resource Availability: Review the capacity planning for the relevant work centers or resources to ensure they are not overloaded. You can do this using transaction codes like CM01 (Capacity Overview) or CM21 (Capacity Leveling).
  Adjust Time Frame: If the selected period is too narrow or does not align with the resource availability, try adjusting the time frame to see if capacity can be found.
  Review Resource Configuration: Ensure that the work centers are correctly configured with the appropriate capacity settings. Check the capacity categories and ensure they are set up correctly.
  Analyze Existing Orders: Look for existing production or maintenance orders that may be consuming the capacity. You may need to reschedule or prioritize these orders.
  Check for Maintenance Schedules: Verify if there are any planned maintenance activities that could be affecting the capacity during the selected period.
  Consult with a Planner: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult with a production planner or a system administrator who can provide insights into the capacity planning settings and configurations.
