• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FPP104 - Choose a later time or choose the option "immediately..." ?

  The SAP error message FPP104 typically occurs in the context of production planning or scheduling when a user attempts to schedule a task or operation that cannot be executed at the specified time. This error indicates that the system has determined that the requested time is not feasible, and it suggests that the user should either choose a later time or opt for immediate execution.
  Cause:
  
  Scheduling Conflicts: The requested time for the operation may conflict with other scheduled operations or resources that are not available at that time.
  Capacity Constraints: The system may have determined that there is insufficient capacity (e.g., machine, labor) to perform the operation at the requested time.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on previous operations that have not yet been completed, preventing the current operation from being scheduled.
  Lead Times: The lead time for the operation may not allow it to start at the requested time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Choose a Later Time: If possible, select a later time for the operation that allows for the necessary resources and dependencies to be met.
  Select "Immediately": If the operation can be executed right away, choose the option to schedule it immediately. This may bypass the scheduling constraints if resources are available.
  Check Resource Availability: Review the availability of resources (machines, labor) to ensure they can accommodate the operation at the desired time.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any preceding operations that need to be completed before the current operation can start. Adjust the schedule accordingly.
  Adjust Capacity Settings: If capacity constraints are causing the issue, consider adjusting the capacity settings or reassigning resources to accommodate the operation.
  Consult with Planning Team: If you are unsure about the scheduling, consult with your production planning team for insights on how to resolve the conflict.
