• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AO_PLANNING002 - Changing the object currency no longer allowed ?

  The SAP error message AO_PLANNING002 ("Changing the object currency no longer allowed") typically occurs in the context of SAP's planning and controlling modules, particularly when dealing with planning objects in the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC). This error indicates that there is an attempt to change the currency of a planning object that has already been defined and used in a planning scenario.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Change Attempt: The primary cause of this error is an attempt to change the currency of a planning object (like a cost center, profit center, or internal order) after it has been created and used in planning transactions.
  Data Consistency: SAP enforces strict data consistency rules to ensure that historical data remains intact and that any changes do not lead to inconsistencies in reporting or analysis.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the system may restrict changes to the currency of planning objects once they have been activated or used in planning.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Planning Object: Check if the planning object you are trying to modify has been used in any planning transactions. If it has, you will not be able to change its currency.
  Create a New Object: If you need to use a different currency, consider creating a new planning object with the desired currency instead of trying to change the existing one.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling planning objects and currency settings.
  System Configuration: If you believe that the currency change should be allowed, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the settings that govern currency changes for planning objects.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your planning processes to catch this error early and provide users with guidance on how to proceed.
