• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/TMSRES_BP019 - The active capacity variant has no shift sequence assignment ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/TMSRES_BP019 indicates that the active capacity variant in the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) system does not have a shift sequence assignment. This error typically arises in the context of capacity planning and resource management, particularly when dealing with production planning and scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Shift Sequence Assignment: The primary cause of this error is that the active capacity variant does not have a defined shift sequence. Shift sequences are necessary for determining the availability of resources over time.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the capacity planning settings where the shift sequences have not been properly assigned to the capacity variant.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data related to the capacity variant or the shift sequences.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Capacity Variant Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
  Navigate to the relevant section for capacity planning and check the configuration of the capacity variant.
  Ensure that the active capacity variant has a shift sequence assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Shift Sequence:
  
  If the shift sequence is missing, you need to assign a shift sequence to the capacity variant.
  This can typically be done in the capacity planning settings where you define the capacity variant and its associated shift sequences.
  
  
  
  Review Shift Sequence Settings:
  
  Ensure that the shift sequences themselves are correctly defined and active. You can check this in the relevant configuration area for shift sequences.
  Make sure that the shift sequences are valid for the time periods you are planning for.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the master data for the resources and capacity variants is complete and accurate.
  Ensure that all necessary data is maintained, including work centers, production resources/tools, and their respective shift sequences.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by running the relevant planning or scheduling transaction again to see if the error persists.
