• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/LSO600 - Planning not possible; no capacity passed to the optimizer ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/LSO600 Planning not possible; no capacity passed to the optimizer typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Supply Chain Management (SCM) when the system is unable to perform planning due to a lack of capacity data being passed to the optimizer. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Capacity Data: The most common reason for this error is that there is no capacity data available for the resources involved in the planning process. This could be due to:
  
  Resources not being defined correctly in the system.
  Capacity not being maintained for the relevant planning periods.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the planning area.
  
  
  
  Planning Area Configuration: The planning area may not be set up to include capacity-related data, or the relevant key figures may not be defined.
  
  
  Resource Assignment: Resources may not be assigned to the relevant products or production processes, leading to a situation where the optimizer cannot find any capacity to work with.
  
  
  Data Locking: Sometimes, data locking issues can prevent the optimizer from accessing the necessary capacity data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration:
  
  Ensure that all relevant resources are defined in the system and that they have capacity data maintained for the required planning periods.
  Verify that the resources are correctly assigned to the products or production processes.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Area Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the planning area to ensure that it includes the necessary capacity-related key figures.
  Make sure that the planning area is correctly set up to handle capacity planning.
  
  
  
  Maintain Capacity Data:
  
  If capacity data is missing, you may need to enter or update the capacity information for the relevant resources in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Data Locking:
  
  Investigate if there are any data locking issues that might be preventing the optimizer from accessing the capacity data. This can be done by checking the relevant transaction logs or using transaction codes like SM12 to view locks.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use the consistency check tools available in SAP APO/SCM to identify and resolve any inconsistencies in the data that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP system for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCMB/LSO for logistics and planning, and SCC1 for client copy if you are working in a development environment.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches that may address this specific error message.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels for additional insights and shared experiences from other users who may have encountered the same issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement the necessary solutions to resolve it.
