The SAP error message
/SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP333
indicates that certain freight units have not been planned because their utilization is below the defined minimum threshold. This error typically arises in the context of transportation management within SAP, particularly when using the Transportation Management (TM) module.Cause:
- Utilization Threshold: Each freight unit has a minimum utilization percentage defined in the system. If the calculated utilization of a freight unit falls below this threshold, the system will prevent planning for that freight unit.
- Freight Unit Characteristics: The characteristics of the freight unit, such as weight, volume, or dimensions, may not meet the minimum requirements for planning.
- Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the system may be too strict, leading to many freight units being excluded from planning.
- Capacity Constraints: The transportation resources (e.g., vehicles, containers) may not have enough capacity to accommodate the freight unit, leading to low utilization.
Solution:
- Review Minimum Utilization Settings: Check the minimum utilization settings in the configuration of the Transportation Management system. You may need to adjust these settings to allow for lower utilization if it is acceptable for your business processes.
- Analyze Freight Unit Characteristics: Review the characteristics of the freight units that are being excluded. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that their dimensions and weights are accurate.
- Adjust Planning Parameters: If the planning parameters are too strict, consider relaxing them to allow for more flexibility in planning.
- Check Resource Availability: Ensure that the transportation resources are available and have sufficient capacity to handle the freight units. If necessary, add more resources or adjust the existing ones.
- Manual Planning: If certain freight units are critical and cannot be planned automatically, consider planning them manually as a temporary solution.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
