  Cause:
  
  Missing Capacity Definition: The resource in question (denoted as &2) does not have a time-continuous capacity defined in the system. This means that the system cannot determine how much of the resource is available for production over time.

  Solution:
  
  
  Define Time-Continuous Capacity:
  
  Go to the resource master data in the SAP APO system.
  Navigate to the capacity planning view of the resource.

  Check Resource Configuration:
  
  Verify that the resource is correctly configured in the system. Check for any missing or incorrect settings that could affect capacity.
  Ensure that the resource is assigned to the correct production process and that it is active.
  
  
  
  Review Capacity Planning Settings:
  
  Check the settings in the capacity planning profile to ensure that they are set up to allow for time-continuous capacity.
  Make sure that the planning version being used is correctly configured to include the resource.
  
  
  
  Re-run Planning:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the planning process to see if the error persists.
