  The SAP error message SAWE_TIME_PS_UI019 typically occurs in the context of project planning and scheduling, particularly when using the Project System (PS) module. This error indicates that there is an overbooking situation in the specified planning unit, which is usually measured in hours or days. The message suggests that the planned work exceeds the available capacity for the specified period.
  Cause:
  
  Overbooking: The primary cause of this error is that the total planned work (in hours or days) for a resource exceeds the available capacity for that resource during the specified time frame.
  Resource Allocation: There may be multiple projects or tasks assigned to the same resource, leading to a situation where the total workload surpasses what the resource can handle.
  Incorrect Planning Units: The planning units (e.g., days, hours) may not be aligned correctly with the resource's availability or the project's scheduling requirements.
  Calendar Settings: The working calendar for the resource may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in available working days or hours.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Resource Allocation: Check the resource assignments for the project and ensure that the workload is balanced. If a resource is overbooked, consider redistributing tasks among other available resources.
  Adjust Planning Units: If the planning units are not set correctly, adjust them to reflect the actual availability of the resources. Ensure that the planning units align with the project's requirements.
  Modify Project Schedule: If possible, adjust the project schedule to spread the workload over a longer period, thereby reducing the daily or hourly workload on the resource.
  Check Resource Availability: Verify the working calendar for the resource to ensure that it accurately reflects the available working days and hours. Adjust the calendar if necessary.
  Use Capacity Planning Tools: Utilize SAP's capacity planning tools to analyze resource utilization and identify potential overbooking issues before they occur.
