  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_CAP131 indicates that there is a mismatch between the calendar of a resource and the calendar of a reference resource in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when you are trying to assign a resource to a planning object, and the calendars do not match.
  Cause:
  
  
  Calendar Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the resource you are trying to use has a different calendar configuration compared to the reference resource. This can happen if:
  
  The working days or hours defined in the calendars are different.
  The calendars are set up in different ways (e.g., one resource might have holidays defined that the other does not).
  
  
  
  Resource Configuration: The resource might have been configured incorrectly or inconsistently with the reference resource.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Resource Calendars:

  Compare the calendar settings of the resource (&1) with the reference resource (&2).
  Ensure that both resources have identical calendar settings, including working days, hours, and any defined holidays.
  
  
  
  Adjust Calendar Settings:
  
  If you find discrepancies, adjust the calendar settings of the resource to match those of the reference resource.
  You can do this in the resource master data maintenance transaction (e.g., transaction /SAPAPO/RRP3 for resource planning).
  
  
  
  Reassign Resources:
  
  If necessary, reassign the resources in your planning object to ensure that they are using compatible calendars.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, test the planning scenario again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
