• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2039 - Resource must be infinite ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2039 indicates that a resource in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module is defined as a finite resource, but the system is trying to allocate it in a way that requires it to be treated as an infinite resource. This typically occurs during planning runs, such as when creating production plans or during heuristic runs.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Configuration: The resource in question is configured as a finite resource in the system, meaning it has a limited capacity. However, the planning scenario or the specific operation being executed requires that the resource be treated as if it has unlimited capacity.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or settings may not align with the resource's configuration, leading to a conflict.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the master data related to the resource, such as incorrect capacity settings or planning versions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration:
  
  Go to the resource master data in the APO system and verify the settings for the resource in question. Ensure that it is correctly defined as finite or infinite based on your planning requirements.
  If the resource should be infinite, change its configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Check the planning parameters used in the planning run. Ensure that they are set correctly and are compatible with the resource's configuration.
  If necessary, adjust the planning parameters to align with the resource's finite capacity.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Review the master data for the resource, including capacity settings, production versions, and any other relevant data.
  Correct any inconsistencies or errors found in the master data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring resources and resolving related errors.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test planning scenario to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
