• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61816 - Maintain selection ID in the scheduling parameters ?

  The SAP error message 61816, which states "Maintain selection ID in the scheduling parameters," typically occurs in the context of scheduling jobs or processes in SAP, particularly when using the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module or similar scheduling functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by the absence of a selection ID in the scheduling parameters. A selection ID is a key component that defines how data is selected for processing in scheduling jobs.

  Navigate to the scheduling parameters section.
  
  
  
  Maintain Selection ID:
  
  Look for the field where the selection ID is specified.
  If it is empty or incorrect, enter the appropriate selection ID that corresponds to your scheduling requirements.
  Ensure that the selection ID is valid and exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the correct selection ID, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Scheduling Job:
  
  Once the selection ID is maintained, try to re-run the scheduling job or process that previously resulted in the error.
