  The SAP error message ABADR017 indicates that a specific strategy does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when a planning strategy that is referenced in a transaction or configuration is not defined or has been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Strategy: The strategy you are trying to use has not been created in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings may reference a strategy that is not valid or has been removed.
  Transport Issues: If the strategy was created in a different environment (like development) and not transported to the current environment (like production), it may not exist in the current system.

  Review Configuration:

  Transport Requests:
