• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CAPREV005 - Reserv. capacity should be less than/equal to total capacity (Excess &1) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CAPREV005 indicates that the reserved capacity for a particular resource exceeds the total available capacity. This error typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to plan or execute production orders, and it can lead to issues in capacity planning and scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  Excess Reservation: The reserved capacity for a production order or a planned order is greater than the total capacity available for that resource.
  Incorrect Capacity Settings: The total capacity of the resource may not be correctly defined in the system.
  Overlapping Orders: Multiple orders may be scheduled to use the same resource at the same time, leading to an overallocation of capacity.
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or settings for the resource may not be configured correctly, leading to incorrect calculations of available capacity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Capacity Settings:
  
  Check the total capacity defined for the resource in the capacity planning view. Ensure that it accurately reflects the available capacity.
  Adjust the capacity settings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Analyze Reservations:
  
  Review the reservations made for the resource. Identify any orders that may be reserving more capacity than is available.
  Adjust the reservations or the production orders to ensure that the total reserved capacity does not exceed the available capacity.
  
  
  
  Check for Overlapping Orders:
  
  Look for any overlapping production orders that may be scheduled for the same resource. If found, consider rescheduling or staggering the orders to avoid capacity conflicts.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters for the resource in the APO system. Ensure that they are set correctly to reflect the actual production capabilities.
  
  
  
  Capacity Planning:
  
  Use the capacity planning tools in SAP APO to analyze the capacity utilization and make necessary adjustments to the production schedule.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on capacity planning and error resolution.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/CC01 (Capacity Planning) or /SAPAPO/CC02 (Change Capacity) to review and adjust capacity settings.
  APO Configuration: Ensure that the APO system is properly configured for capacity planning, including the definition of resources, capacity categories, and planning strategies.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect capacity calculations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
