• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APO_BAPI406 - Planning mode usage is already set and is being adopted ?

  The SAP error message APO_BAPI406 indicates that there is an issue with the planning mode in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, it means that the planning mode usage is already set and is being adopted, which typically occurs when there is an attempt to change the planning mode while it is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Usage: The planning mode is already being used by another process or transaction, preventing changes.
