• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_CDOC047 - No available capacity between current and previous operation ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_CDOC047 indicates that there is no available capacity between the current and previous operation in the production planning process. This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to schedule operations in a production order or when performing capacity planning.
  Cause:
  
  Capacity Constraints: The most common cause is that the capacity of the work center or resource is insufficient to handle the load required by the operations scheduled.
  Scheduling Conflicts: There may be overlapping operations or scheduling conflicts that prevent the system from allocating the necessary capacity.
  Incorrect Setup: The configuration of the work center, including available capacity, shift definitions, or resource allocation, may not be set up correctly.
  Lead Times: The lead times defined for operations may not allow for sufficient time between operations, leading to capacity issues.
  Production Order Settings: The settings in the production order may not align with the available capacity, such as incorrect operation sequences or durations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Capacity Availability: Review the capacity of the work center or resource to ensure it can accommodate the operations scheduled. You can do this through transaction codes like CM01 (Capacity Planning) or CM21 (Capacity Leveling).
  Adjust Scheduling: Modify the scheduling of operations to ensure that there is enough time and capacity between them. This may involve changing the start and end times of operations or adjusting the sequence.
  Review Work Center Configuration: Ensure that the work center is configured correctly, including the available capacity, shift definitions, and any relevant parameters.
  Modify Lead Times: If lead times are too tight, consider adjusting them to allow for more flexibility in scheduling.
  Check Production Order: Review the production order for any inconsistencies or errors in the operation sequences, durations, or dependencies.
  Capacity Planning: Use capacity planning tools within SAP APO to analyze and optimize the capacity utilization.
