• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT850 - Capacity change active ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT850 Capacity change active typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly when dealing with capacity planning and scheduling. This error indicates that there is an active change to the capacity of a resource that is currently being used in a planning run or optimization process.
  Cause:
  
  Active Capacity Change: The error is triggered when there is an ongoing change to the capacity of a resource (e.g., a production line or machine) while a planning run is trying to access that resource.
  Concurrency Issues: This can happen if multiple users or processes are trying to modify the same resource's capacity simultaneously.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies, and if a resource is locked due to an active change, it cannot be accessed for planning purposes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Changes: Verify if there are any active changes to the capacity of the resource in question. You can do this by checking the capacity planning transactions or the relevant resource master data.
  Wait for Completion: If there is an active change, wait for it to complete before attempting to run the planning process again.
  Release Locks: If you suspect that a lock is causing the issue, you may need to release the lock. This can be done by:
  
  Using transaction SM12 to check for and delete any unnecessary locks.
  Ensuring that no other users are making changes to the same resource at the same time.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for the resource and its capacity is set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to this error for any specific guidance or patches that may address the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CIF (Core Interface) for checking integration issues, SCC4 for client settings, and SM21 for system logs.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. You can search for notes using the SAP Support Portal.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to make changes to resource capacities without causing conflicts.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO support team for further investigation.
