• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/SC_CAL223 - To-time of shift #& exceeds from-time of the next day ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/SC_CAL223 indicates that there is an issue with the scheduling of shifts in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, the error states that the "To-time of shift #& exceeds from-time of the next day." This typically occurs when the end time of a shift overlaps incorrectly with the start time of the next shift, leading to a scheduling conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Shift Overlap: The end time of the current shift is set to a time that is later than the start time of the next shift on the following day.
  Incorrect Shift Configuration: The shift definitions may not be configured correctly, leading to overlaps or incorrect time settings.
  Time Format Issues: There may be issues with how times are entered or interpreted, especially if there are different time zones or formats involved.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Shift Definitions: Check the configuration of the shifts in the system. Ensure that the end time of the current shift does not exceed the start time of the next shift.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP SCM and verify the shift timings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Shift Times: If you find that the shift timings are incorrect, adjust them so that the end time of the current shift is less than or equal to the start time of the next shift.
  
  
  Check for Day Change: If the shifts are meant to span over midnight, ensure that the system is correctly configured to handle shifts that cross over to the next day.
  
  
  Validate Time Entries: Ensure that all time entries are in the correct format and that there are no discrepancies in how times are recorded.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring shifts and handling scheduling errors.
