• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/TMSRES_BP036 - Shift &1 ends before shift &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/TMSRES_BP036 Shift &1 ends before shift &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Supply Chain Management (SCM) when there is a scheduling conflict between two shifts. This error indicates that the end time of one shift (Shift &1) is occurring before the start time of another shift (Shift &2), which is not a valid configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Shift Configuration: The shifts may have been incorrectly configured in the system, leading to overlapping or misaligned time frames.
  Planning Data: The planning data or master data may have inconsistencies, such as incorrect start and end times for the shifts.
  Resource Allocation: There may be issues with how resources are allocated to the shifts, causing scheduling conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Shift Definitions: Review the definitions of the shifts in the system. Ensure that the end time of Shift &1 is later than the start time of Shift &2.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (e.g., in the transaction code /SCMB/TMSRES or similar) and verify the shift timings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Shift Timings: If the shift timings are incorrect, adjust them to ensure that they do not overlap or conflict. Make sure that the end time of one shift does not precede the start time of another.
  
  
  Review Planning Data: Check the planning data for any inconsistencies. Ensure that all relevant data is correctly entered and that there are no errors in the scheduling logic.
  
  
  Resource Management: If applicable, review how resources are assigned to the shifts. Ensure that resources are not being scheduled in a way that would cause conflicts.
