• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APO_BAPI_SPP005 - Release and rejection not possible simultaneously ?

  The SAP error message APO_BAPI_SPP005 indicates that there is an issue with the release and rejection of a planned order or a similar object in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to release a planned order while simultaneously rejecting it, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the conflicting actions being performed on the same planned order. In SAP APO, a planned order can either be released for production or rejected, but not both at the same time. This conflict can occur due to:
  
  Simultaneous Processing: If multiple processes or transactions are trying to update the same planned order at the same time.
  Incorrect Logic in Custom Code: If there is custom code or a user exit that attempts to release and reject the order in a single transaction.
  User Error: A user may inadvertently attempt to perform both actions on the same order.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Transaction: Ensure that you are not trying to release and reject the same planned order in a single transaction. Review the steps you are taking and separate the actions if necessary.
  
  
  Review Custom Code: If there is any custom code or enhancements in place, review them to ensure that they are not attempting to perform both actions simultaneously. Modify the logic to handle these actions sequentially.
  
  
  Use the Correct Functionality: If you need to reject a planned order, do so first, and then, if needed, release a different planned order afterward. Ensure that the order you are trying to release is not marked for rejection.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: If there are background jobs or batch processes that might be affecting the planned order, check their status and ensure they are not causing conflicts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more details on the specific transaction or BAPI you are using, as there may be additional constraints or requirements.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: If you are using a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) to perform these actions, check the documentation for that BAPI to understand its constraints and expected behavior.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide additional insights.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant transaction codes in APO that deal with planned orders, such as /SAPAPO/SDP94 for planning board or /SAPAPO/ORDR for order management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to avoid it in the future.
