How To Fix M2890 - Capacity requirement for order &, operation & was reduced

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: M2 - LIS: Generating and updating info structures

• Message number: 890

• Message text: Capacity requirement for order &, operation & was reduced

What causes this issue?

When the system calculated the capacity requirement for the order &V1&,
operation &V2&, the result of the calculation was larger than 99999
hours. A requirement of this size cannot be stored in the Shop Floor
Information System. It was therefore reduced.

How to fix this error?

Please check the operation data in your routing and the capacity data
at your work center. There is probably an error in the master data.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2890 - Capacity requirement for order &, operation & was reduced ?

  The SAP error message M2890 indicates that the capacity requirement for a specific order and operation has been reduced. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and capacity management within SAP's Material Management (MM) or Production Planning (PP) modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Capacity Reduction: The capacity requirement for the operation has been reduced due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Changes in the production order (e.g., quantity changes, scheduling changes).
  Resource availability issues (e.g., machine breakdown, maintenance).
  Changes in the routing or work center settings.
  Rescheduling of operations or orders.
  
  
  
  Order Modifications: If there are modifications to the production order, such as changes in the planned start or finish dates, this can lead to a reduction in capacity requirements.
  
  
  Resource Constraints: If the work center has limited capacity or if there are conflicting orders scheduled for the same resource, the system may reduce the capacity requirement for the affected operation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Production Order: Check the production order for any recent changes that might have led to the capacity reduction. Ensure that the order details (quantities, dates, etc.) are correct.
  
  
  Check Work Center Capacity: Verify the capacity settings of the work center involved. Ensure that the work center is not overloaded and that it has sufficient capacity to handle the operations scheduled.
  
  
  Analyze Routing: Review the routing for the production order to ensure that it is correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies in the operations or timings.
  
  
  Reschedule Operations: If necessary, reschedule the operations to better align with available capacity. This may involve adjusting the start and finish dates or reassigning operations to different work centers.
  
  
  Consult with Production Planning: If the issue persists, consult with the production planning team to understand if there are any broader scheduling conflicts or capacity issues that need to be addressed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CO03 (Display Production Order) or CM01 (Capacity Planning) to analyze the production order and capacity situation.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to capacity planning and error messages.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on capacity planning, production orders, and work center management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the M2890 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
