• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REORPO035 - Planned occupancy &1 is active - change not possible ?

  The SAP error message REORPO035 indicates that a planned occupancy (such as a reservation or booking) is currently active, and therefore, changes to that occupancy are not possible. This error typically arises in the context of resource planning, such as in SAP's Project System (PS) or other modules that manage resources and capacities.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that there is an active planned occupancy for a resource (like a machine, employee, or room) that you are trying to modify. The system prevents changes to ensure data integrity and to avoid conflicts with existing bookings or reservations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Occupancies: Review the planned occupancy for the resource in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., CM21 for capacity planning) and checking the details of the planned occupancy.
  
  
  Deactivate or Delete the Occupancy: If the planned occupancy is no longer needed, you can deactivate or delete it. This can usually be done through the same transaction where you checked the occupancy. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make these changes.
  
  
  Change the Planned Occupancy: If you need to modify the existing planned occupancy, consider whether you can adjust the details without deleting it. Some systems allow for certain modifications without requiring a complete deletion.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If the planned occupancy is critical and cannot be changed, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., project managers, resource managers) to determine the best course of action.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Sometimes, planned occupancies are linked to other processes or transactions. Ensure that there are no dependencies that would prevent you from making changes.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that can help you manage planned occupancies, such as:
  
  CM21: Capacity Planning
  C223: Change Planned Orders
  C220: Display Planned Orders
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing planned occupancies and understanding the implications of changes.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to planned occupancies.
  System Configuration: In some cases, system configuration settings may affect how planned occupancies are managed. Consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team if you suspect this is the case.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
