• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL070 - &1 excluded because capacity document is before planning horizon ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_VSR_OL070 &1 excluded because capacity document is before planning horizon typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system is trying to process capacity documents (like transportation capacities) that fall outside the defined planning horizon.
  Cause:
  
  Planning Horizon Configuration: The planning horizon is a time frame defined in the system within which planning activities are considered valid. If a capacity document (e.g., a transportation resource's availability) is dated before this planning horizon, the system will exclude it from planning calculations.
  Capacity Document Dates: The dates associated with the capacity document may not align with the current planning horizon, leading to the exclusion of that document from the planning process.
  Incorrect Settings: There may be incorrect settings in the configuration of the planning horizon or the capacity documents themselves.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust Planning Horizon: Review and, if necessary, extend the planning horizon in the configuration settings to include the dates of the capacity documents. This can typically be done in the SAP TM configuration settings.
  Update Capacity Documents: Ensure that the capacity documents are updated with the correct dates that fall within the planning horizon. This may involve creating new capacity documents or modifying existing ones.
  Check Configuration: Verify the configuration settings related to planning horizons and capacity management in SAP TM. Ensure that they are set up correctly to meet your business requirements.
  Review Planning Parameters: Check the planning parameters and ensure that they are aligned with the operational needs and the available capacity.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/PLN for planning-related activities or /SCMTMS/CONFIG for configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for detailed information on planning horizons and capacity management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to this error message.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the capacity documents are now being considered within the planning horizon.
