• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES192 - Finite capacity is set to "time-continuous capacity" ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES192 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of finite capacity in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, it states that finite capacity is set to "time-continuous capacity," which can lead to conflicts in planning scenarios where discrete capacity is expected.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The error typically arises when the capacity of a resource is defined as "time-continuous" but the planning scenario or the demand being processed requires discrete capacity.
  Resource Settings: The resource in question may have been incorrectly configured in the system, leading to a mismatch between the expected capacity type and the actual capacity type defined.
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not be compatible with the resource settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration:
  
  Go to the resource master data in the APO system.
  Verify the capacity settings for the resource in question. Ensure that the capacity type (time-continuous or discrete) aligns with the requirements of your planning scenario.
  If necessary, change the capacity type to match the planning requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Scenario:
  
  Review the planning scenario settings to ensure that it is compatible with the resource configuration.
  If the scenario requires discrete capacity, ensure that the resources are set up accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Version:
  
  Check the planning version being used and ensure it is set up correctly to handle the type of capacity defined for the resources.
  If needed, create a new planning version that aligns with the resource settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring finite capacity and understanding the implications of time-continuous versus discrete capacity.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test planning run to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on capacity configuration.
  APO Documentation: Review the official SAP APO documentation for best practices on resource and capacity planning.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By addressing the configuration of the resource and ensuring alignment with the planning scenario, you should be able to resolve the error message /SAPAPO/DMRES192.
