    The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CAPREV028 indicates that you are trying to assign more values to a characteristic than the maximum allowed limit. This is a common issue in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with characteristics in the context of planning objects, such as products or resources.

    Cause:

    The error occurs when:

    • You attempt to assign more values to a characteristic than the predefined maximum limit set in the system.
    • The characteristic in question has a restriction on the number of values that can be assigned, which is defined in the configuration of the characteristic.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Characteristic Configuration:

      • Go to the configuration of the characteristic in the SAP system.
      • Verify the maximum number of values allowed for the characteristic. This can typically be found in the characteristics settings in the SAP APO system.
    2. Reduce the Number of Assigned Values:

      • If you are trying to assign more values than allowed, you will need to reduce the number of values you are assigning to comply with the limit.
      • Review the values you are trying to assign and remove any unnecessary ones.
    3. Modify the Maximum Value Limit (if applicable):

      • If it is necessary to assign more values than the current limit, you may need to adjust the configuration of the characteristic to increase the maximum allowed values.
      • This typically requires access to the configuration settings and may involve working with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the characteristic and its configuration.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, test the assignment again to ensure that the error is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/CTE (for characteristics) or /SAPAPO/CC (for configuration) to access the relevant settings.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
