• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH135 - Zero capacity is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/SCH135 Zero capacity is not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to schedule a transportation resource (like a vehicle or a carrier) that has zero capacity. This can happen during planning or scheduling processes when the system tries to allocate resources for transportation but finds that the capacity defined for those resources is set to zero.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Resource Configuration: The transportation resource (e.g., vehicle, carrier) may not have been configured correctly, leading to a capacity of zero.
  Capacity Settings: The capacity settings for the resource might have been inadvertently set to zero during configuration or maintenance.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data related to the transportation resources, such as missing or incorrect entries.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or constraints set in the system may not allow for any capacity to be utilized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration of the transportation resource in SAP TM.
  Ensure that the capacity is defined correctly and is greater than zero.
  
  
  
  Update Capacity Settings:
  
  If the capacity is indeed set to zero, update it to reflect the actual capacity of the resource.
  Make sure to save the changes and recheck the scheduling process.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Verify the master data for the transportation resources to ensure that all necessary information is correctly entered.
  Check for any missing entries or incorrect data that could lead to a zero capacity.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters and constraints to ensure they are set correctly and do not inadvertently restrict capacity.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run of the scheduling process to confirm that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/RES for resource management or /SCMTMS/PL for planning to access the relevant configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for detailed guidance on configuring transportation resources and understanding capacity settings.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP TM expert for further assistance.
