• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEFLO111 - Resource &1 is not a line resource ?

  The SAP error message PPEFLO111 indicates that a specified resource (denoted as &1 in the message) is not recognized as a line resource in the context of production planning or scheduling. This error typically arises in scenarios involving capacity planning, production orders, or scheduling where the system expects a line resource but receives a different type of resource.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Type Mismatch: The resource you are trying to use is not defined as a line resource in the system. Line resources are typically used in production environments where operations are performed in a linear fashion, such as assembly lines.
  Configuration Issues: The resource may not be properly configured in the system, or it may be set up as a different type of resource (e.g., machine, labor) instead of a line resource.
  Incorrect Resource Assignment: The resource may have been incorrectly assigned to a production order or operation that requires a line resource.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration:
  
  Go to the resource master data in SAP (transaction code CR02 for changing resources).
  Verify that the resource in question is configured as a line resource. Check the resource type and ensure it is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Production Order/Operation:
  
  Check the production order or operation where the error occurred. Ensure that the resource assigned is appropriate for the operation type.
  If necessary, reassign the correct line resource to the operation.
  
  
  
  Adjust Resource Settings:
  
  If the resource should be a line resource, you may need to change its settings in the resource master data.
  If it should not be a line resource, ensure that the operations or orders using it are compatible with its type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to resource types and production planning to ensure you understand the requirements for line resources.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the scenario again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
