  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM3221 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, specifically when using the Capable-to-Match (CTM) functionality. This error indicates that a dispatch operation cannot be performed between two specified locations or time periods.
  Cause:
  The error message /SAPAPO/CTM3221 Calendar &3: Dispatch not possible from &1 to &2 can be caused by several factors:
  
  
  Calendar Issues: The calendar settings for the production or dispatch locations may not allow for operations to be scheduled between the specified times. This could be due to non-working days, holidays, or shifts that are not aligned.
  
  
  Capacity Constraints: The resources (e.g., machines, labor) at the source location may not have enough capacity to fulfill the demand at the target location during the specified time frame.
  
  
  Material Availability: The materials required for the dispatch may not be available at the source location, or there may be restrictions on the movement of materials.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the CTM that restrict dispatching under certain conditions, such as transportation lanes or resource availability.
  
  
  Planning Versions: The planning version being used may not have the necessary data or may be locked, preventing dispatch operations.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Calendar Settings: Review the calendar settings for both the source and target locations. Ensure that the days and times are correctly defined and that there are no non-working days that would prevent dispatch.
  
  
  Review Capacity: Check the capacity of the resources at the source location. Ensure that there is enough capacity to meet the demand at the target location.
  
  
  Material Availability Check: Verify that the required materials are available at the source location. If not, consider adjusting the planning or procurement processes to ensure availability.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Look into the CTM configuration settings to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the dispatch. This includes checking transportation lanes, resource availability, and any other relevant settings.
  
  
  Planning Version: Ensure that the planning version you are using is active and contains the necessary data. If the version is locked, you may need to unlock it or switch to a different version.
  
  
  Logs and Messages: Check the CTM logs and messages for any additional information that may provide insights into the specific cause of the error.
