  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CAL223 indicates that there is a scheduling issue in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, specifically related to shifts in a production or planning context. The error message states that the "To-time of shift #& exceeds from-time of the next day," which means that the end time of a particular shift overlaps with the start time of the next day’s schedule.

  Solution:
  
  Review Shift Definitions: Check the shift definitions in the system. Ensure that the "To-time" of the current shift does not exceed the "From-time" of the next day’s schedule. Adjust the shift timings as necessary.
  Adjust Planning Horizon: If the planning horizon is causing the issue, consider adjusting it to ensure that shifts are aligned correctly with the production schedule.
  Check Calendar Settings: Ensure that the calendar settings in the APO system are correctly configured. This includes checking for any holidays or non-working days that may affect shift timings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring shifts and schedules in APO.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the scheduling to ensure that the error does not recur.
