  Cause:
  
  Resource Capacity Overload: The error indicates that the system has detected a situation where the planned demand exceeds the available capacity of a resource (e.g., machine, labor, etc.) for a given time period.
  Capacity Settings: The settings for the resource may not allow for the increase in capacity to accommodate the overload. This could be due to fixed capacity limits or constraints defined in the resource master data.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy being used may not allow for the adjustment of capacity to meet demand, leading to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that prevent the system from recognizing the increased capacity.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Resource Capacity: Check the capacity settings for the resource in question. Ensure that the capacity is defined correctly and that it can be increased if necessary.
  
  Go to the resource master data and verify the capacity settings.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If the planning strategy allows, consider adjusting the planning parameters to allow for capacity overload handling.
  Capacity Planning: Use capacity planning tools within APO to analyze and adjust the capacity of resources based on demand forecasts.
  Increase Resource Capacity: If feasible, increase the capacity of the resource to meet the demand. This can be done by adding shifts, overtime, or additional resources.
  Check for Constraints: Review any constraints that may be set on the resource that could prevent it from being utilized to its full capacity.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to capacity planning and resource management for specific guidance on handling this error.
