• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO079 - Operation &1 activity &2: Multiple modes with identical primary resource ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO079 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there are multiple modes defined for a particular operation that share the same primary resource. This can lead to confusion in the planning process, as the system cannot determine which mode to use for scheduling.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Modes: You have defined multiple modes for an operation in a production process, and these modes are configured to use the same primary resource.
  Resource Configuration: The primary resource assigned to these modes is not unique, leading to ambiguity in the planning process.
  Planning Object Structure: The planning object structure may not be set up correctly, causing the system to misinterpret the resource allocation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Modes Configuration:
  
  Go to the mode configuration for the operation in question.
  Check if multiple modes are indeed using the same primary resource.
  
  
  
  Modify Mode Definitions:
  
  If multiple modes are using the same primary resource, consider modifying the mode definitions to ensure that each mode has a unique primary resource.
  Alternatively, if the modes are intended to share the same resource, you may need to consolidate them into a single mode.
  
  
  
  Check Resource Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the primary resource assigned to each mode is correctly defined and does not overlap with other modes unintentionally.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Object Structure:
  
  If necessary, review the planning object structure to ensure it is set up correctly to handle the modes and resources.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test plan to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the planning process works as expected.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration best practices.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your planning process runs smoothly.
