Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to CDP block planning. Key topics include the unique handling of primary and secondary resources, with primary ones being the only type allowed for block planning in APO. It discusses the transferability of classification from R/3 to APO and delineates constraints tied to block limit scheduling, highlighting limitations in scenarios involving maximum constraint relationships and non-working times. Errors related to non-transparent block information and liveCache are outlined, suggesting checks for data consistency. Approaches to fixing blocks, handling block planning with dynamic setup activities, and the insertion of operations in block-planned resources are also covered.

Key words :
maximum constraint relationship prevents block limit scheduling, calendar resources define block-planned resources, infinite capacity planning takes place, finite capacity planning takes place, productive times/resource downtimes, modeling bucketed block resources, block limit scheduling results, pp/ds bucket capacity, 0 lca build 13 lca build 13, minimum/ maximum constraint
