  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Orders: Review the existing orders that are utilizing the supplier's capacity. You may need to adjust the quantities or reschedule some orders to free up capacity.
  Adjust Order Quantity: If possible, reduce the quantity of the new order to fit within the available capacity.
  Capacity Planning: Re-evaluate the capacity planning for the supplier. Ensure that the capacity is set up correctly in the system and that it reflects the actual available resources.

  Consult with Supply Chain Team: Collaborate with the supply chain or production planning team to understand the constraints and find a suitable solution.
  
  Related Information:
