• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES133 - Only use shift sequences without shift factors for resource type & ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES133 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of shift sequences for a resource in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, the error states that only shift sequences without shift factors can be used for the specified resource type.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Shift Sequence Configuration: The shift sequence defined for the resource type includes shift factors, which are not allowed for that particular resource type.
  Resource Type Settings: The resource type may be configured in such a way that it does not support shift factors, leading to this error when trying to use a shift sequence that includes them.
  Planning Version Issues: The planning version being used may not be compatible with the shift sequence settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Shift Sequence Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/RES01 (Resource Overview) or /SAPAPO/RES02 (Resource Planning) in SAP APO.
  Review the shift sequences assigned to the resource type in question.
  Ensure that the shift sequences do not include any shift factors. If they do, you will need to create or modify the shift sequences to remove these factors.
  
  
  
  Modify Resource Type Settings:
  
  If the resource type is intended to use shift factors, consider changing the configuration of the resource type to allow for shift factors.
  This may involve adjusting the settings in the resource master data.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Version:
  
  Ensure that the planning version you are using is correctly set up and compatible with the resource type and shift sequences.
  You can check the planning version settings in the transaction code /SAPAPO/VER01.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:

  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by attempting to execute the planning run again to see if the error persists.
