• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OC853 - Tank capacity & & is below sum of planned cap. of the assigned mat. & & ?

  The SAP error message OC853 indicates that the tank capacity defined in the system is less than the total planned capacity of the materials assigned to that tank. This typically occurs in scenarios involving the management of storage tanks in SAP, particularly in the context of materials management and production planning.
  Cause:
  
  Tank Capacity Configuration: The tank's maximum capacity has been set lower than the total planned capacity of the materials that are assigned to it.
  Material Assignment: The materials assigned to the tank may have been planned in such a way that their total volume exceeds the tank's capacity.
  Changes in Material Planning: If there have been recent changes in the planned quantities of materials, this could lead to a situation where the total planned capacity exceeds the tank's defined capacity.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be errors in the data entry for either the tank capacity or the planned quantities of the materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tank Capacity: Check the configuration of the tank in the system. Ensure that the tank's capacity is set correctly to accommodate the planned quantities of the assigned materials.
  
  Navigate to the tank configuration in SAP and verify the capacity settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Planning: If the tank capacity is correct, review the planned quantities of the materials assigned to the tank. Adjust the planned quantities if necessary to ensure they do not exceed the tank's capacity.
  
  This may involve changing production plans, order quantities, or material assignments.
  
  
  
  Reassign Materials: If certain materials are not critical, consider reassigning them to a different tank with sufficient capacity.
  
  This can help balance the load across multiple tanks.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on managing tank capacities and material assignments.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the changes by attempting to execute the process that triggered the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CST1 (for tank management) and CST2 (for tank capacity).
  Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly maintained, including the volume and weight specifications.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to tank management and capacity issues, as they may provide additional insights or patches.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to make changes to tank configurations and material assignments.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the OC853 error and ensure that your tank management processes run smoothly.
