• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OO_VSVM011 - Step capacity must be smaller than/equal to compartment type capac. (&1) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OO_VSVM011 indicates that there is an issue with the capacity settings in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, specifically related to the step capacity of a production resource and the compartment type capacity.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when the step capacity defined for a specific production resource (like a machine or work center) exceeds the capacity defined for the compartment type associated with that resource. In other words, the system is trying to allocate more capacity to a step than what is available in the compartment type, which leads to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Step Capacity:
  
  Navigate to the relevant production resource in the APO system.
  Review the step capacity settings to ensure they are correctly defined and do not exceed the compartment type capacity.
  
  
  
  Check Compartment Type Capacity:
  
  Go to the compartment type settings in the APO system.
  Verify the capacity defined for the compartment type and ensure it is sufficient to handle the step capacity you have set.
  
  
  
  Adjust Capacities:
  
  If the step capacity is indeed higher than the compartment type capacity, you can either:
  
  Reduce the step capacity to be equal to or less than the compartment type capacity.
  Increase the compartment type capacity if it is feasible and aligns with your production capabilities.
  
  
  
  
  
  Re-evaluate Production Planning:
  
  After making adjustments, re-evaluate your production planning and scheduling to ensure that the changes do not negatively impact your overall production process.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run a test scenario to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the production planning runs smoothly.

  Support: If the issue persists after making adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP APO expert for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your production resources are configured correctly in the SAP APO system.
