• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OPT_DPS_EXP336 - Delay due to maximal fill level of storage resource ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OPT_DPS_EXP336 indicates that there is a delay in the production or planning process due to the maximum fill level of a storage resource being reached. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, particularly when dealing with production planning and detailed scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  Maximal Fill Level Reached: The storage resource (like a warehouse or storage bin) has reached its maximum capacity, preventing any additional goods from being stored.
  Production Overload: The production process may be generating more output than can be accommodated in the available storage.
  Incorrect Configuration: The maximum fill level settings for the storage resource may be incorrectly configured, leading to premature capacity issues.
  Demand Fluctuations: Sudden spikes in demand can lead to unexpected storage issues if the system is not able to adjust quickly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Increase Storage Capacity: If feasible, increase the maximum fill level of the storage resource to accommodate more goods.
  Optimize Production Schedule: Adjust the production schedule to align better with the storage capacity. This may involve rescheduling production runs or adjusting batch sizes.
  Inventory Management: Review and manage inventory levels to ensure that storage resources are not filled to capacity unnecessarily. This may involve moving goods to other storage locations or increasing turnover rates.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings for the storage resource in SAP to ensure that the maximum fill levels are set appropriately based on actual capacity and operational needs.
  Utilize Alternative Storage: If possible, redirect excess production to alternative storage locations that have available capacity.
  Monitor Demand Patterns: Implement better forecasting and demand planning to anticipate storage needs and adjust production accordingly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/DP for demand planning or /SAPAPO/OPT for optimization to analyze the situation further.
  APO Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the APO system related to storage resources and production planning.
  Capacity Planning: Ensure that capacity planning is aligned with actual production capabilities and storage limitations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling this error.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the error and improve the efficiency of your production and storage processes in SAP.
