• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CY651 - Drop graphical object: start & &, finish & & ?

  The SAP error message CY651 ("Drop graphical object: start & &, finish & &") typically occurs in the context of graphical planning tools, such as SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization) or SAP PP (Production Planning). This error indicates that there is an issue with the graphical representation of a planning object, often related to the time intervals or the graphical elements being manipulated.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Time Intervals: The start and finish times specified for the graphical object may not be valid. This can happen if the start time is after the finish time or if the times fall outside the defined planning horizon.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the underlying data that the graphical object is trying to represent, such as missing or incorrect data entries.
  Graphical Object Overlap: If the graphical object being manipulated overlaps with another object in a way that is not allowed, this error can occur.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify the graphical object, leading to this error when attempting to drop or change it.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Time Intervals: Verify the start and finish times of the graphical object. Ensure that the start time is before the finish time and that both times fall within the valid planning horizon.
  Review Data Integrity: Check the underlying data for any inconsistencies or missing entries. Ensure that all relevant data is correctly entered and up to date.
