• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO812 - Bottleneck ressource &1 used in multiple superordinate operations ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO812 indicates that a bottleneck resource is being used in multiple superordinate operations within the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling, where a resource (like a machine or labor) is over-allocated due to its involvement in multiple operations that require it simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Overlap: The bottleneck resource is scheduled to perform multiple tasks at the same time, which is not feasible.
  Incorrect Planning: The planning process may not have adequately accounted for the availability of the bottleneck resource.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the resource or the operations that are using it.
  Capacity Constraints: The resource may have limited capacity, and the operations are exceeding this capacity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Resource Allocation: Check the scheduling of the operations that are using the bottleneck resource. Ensure that they do not overlap in a way that exceeds the resource's capacity.
  Reschedule Operations: Adjust the timing of the operations to ensure that they do not conflict. This may involve changing the start times or durations of the operations.
  Increase Resource Capacity: If possible, consider increasing the capacity of the bottleneck resource by adding more shifts, machines, or personnel.
  Prioritize Operations: Determine which operations are critical and prioritize them over others that can be delayed.
  Use Alternative Resources: If available, consider using alternative resources for some of the operations to alleviate the load on the bottleneck resource.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the resource and operations in the system to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Bottleneck Analysis: Conduct a bottleneck analysis to identify the root causes of the bottleneck and to understand the impact on the overall production process.
  Capacity Planning: Utilize capacity planning tools within SAP APO to better manage resource allocation and scheduling.
  Production Planning Best Practices: Implement best practices in production planning to minimize the occurrence of bottlenecks, such as lean manufacturing principles.
  Monitoring Tools: Use monitoring tools within SAP APO to keep track of resource utilization and identify potential bottlenecks before they become issues.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes of the bottleneck and implementing appropriate solutions, you can resolve the error and improve the efficiency of your production planning process.
