• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_CAP011 - More than one resource selected ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_CAP011 indicates that more than one resource has been selected for a particular operation or process in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module of SAP. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system expects a single resource to be assigned to a task, but multiple resources have been selected instead.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Resource Selection: The most common cause is that the planning or scheduling process has inadvertently selected multiple resources for a single operation, which is not allowed in the context of the specific process being executed.
  Resource Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where resources are not properly defined or categorized, leading to ambiguity in selection.
  Planning Parameters: Incorrect planning parameters or settings may lead to the selection of multiple resources when only one is expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Resource Selection: Check the resource selection criteria in the planning run or transaction. Ensure that the selection logic is set to choose only one resource for the operation.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If applicable, adjust the planning parameters to ensure that they are configured to select a single resource. This may involve reviewing the settings in the planning book or the relevant planning area.
  Resource Master Data: Verify the resource master data to ensure that resources are correctly defined and that there are no overlaps or conflicts in their definitions.
  Check for Custom Logic: If there are any custom enhancements or user exits in place, review them to ensure they are not causing the selection of multiple resources.
  Run Planning Again: After making the necessary adjustments, rerun the planning process to see if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 (for planning book) or /SAPAPO/SCM1 (for resource management) to review and adjust settings.
