"Capacity requirement is invalid" error during PLOD creatio

[Ramma]

Hi Gurus,

When executing in PP/DS the Product Heuristic (SAP_PP_02) we get a popup with following Warning & Error entries:

W In-house production 1490313, source of supply 0000000000002118493000B001, product 211849, location 3000
W Resource W39000-K_3000_001, location 3000
E Capacity requirement is invalid *
E Order not created for product 211849 location 3000 date 31.01.2012 00:00:00 quantity 39.420 KG

(*): Message no. /SAPAPO/OM601

Impacted work-center is modelled in ECC as a subcontracted operation, its assigned control key is flagged to Determine capacity requirements. Resource in APO is multimixed with a reference resource capacity, its Capacity variant & profile looks both OK.

Thanks for any valuable feedabcks.

Regards,
Ramma

Hi again,

The root-cause was a engineering issue with an invalid operation control key used in the material routing:

I sucessfully switched from a CK with
- Scheduling
- Det. Cap. Reqmnts
- Cost
- Print confirmations
- Print time tickets
- Print

to a new one with:
- Scheduling
- Det. Cap. Reqmnts

Hi Ramma,

Did you go through the long text of the error message that is raised during order creation? It gives many hints as to what could be the cause:

Bucket capacity requirement has an invalid value
Message no. /SAPAPO/OM610

Diagnosis
You want to create or change an order. A bucket capacity requirement of
the order has an invalid value. The following bucket capacity
requirements are invalid and lead to errors:

A bucket capacity requirement with the value 0 for a bucket resource
A negative bucket capacity requirement for an SNP activity
A bucket capacity requirement that is not equal to zero for a setup
activity
A bucket capacity requirement that is not equal to zero for a resource
that is not a bucket resource
A bucket capacity requirement that is not equal to zero if the activity
duration is zero
A negative value if the activity duration is different to zero
System Response
The system cannot create or change the order.

Procedure
Check the source of supply (for example, the production process model)
with which the order is to be created or changed.
