• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_PT602 - Selected strategy for overload is finite ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_PT602 Selected strategy for overload is finite typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, particularly when dealing with production planning and scheduling. This error indicates that the selected strategy for handling overload situations is set to "finite," meaning that it cannot exceed the available capacity.
  Cause:
  
  Finite Capacity Planning: The error arises when the system attempts to schedule production or resources beyond their available capacity. In finite capacity planning, the system does not allow for overloading resources, which can lead to this error if the demand exceeds the available capacity.
  Configuration Issues: The planning strategy or resource settings may not be configured correctly, leading to conflicts between demand and available capacity.
  Demand Exceeds Capacity: The planned orders or production orders may exceed the available capacity of the resources, causing the system to trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Capacity Settings: Check the capacity settings for the resources involved. Ensure that the available capacity is correctly defined and that it aligns with the production requirements.
  Adjust Demand: If possible, adjust the planned orders or production orders to ensure that they do not exceed the available capacity. This may involve rescheduling or reducing the quantity of orders.
  Change Planning Strategy: If the business process allows, consider changing the planning strategy from finite to infinite capacity. However, this should be done with caution, as it may lead to other issues such as overloading resources.
  Use Alternative Resources: If there are alternative resources available, consider using them to alleviate the overload situation.
  Check for Bottlenecks: Identify any bottlenecks in the production process that may be causing the overload and address them accordingly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View) or /SAPAPO/RRP4 (Resource View) to analyze the situation further.
  Capacity Planning: Familiarize yourself with the concepts of capacity planning in SAP APO, including finite vs. infinite capacity planning.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing SAP training materials or documentation related to production planning and capacity management in APO.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your planning activities in SAP APO.
