• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DFS_LOG013 - Initial supply not possible; no FMPOs are active ?

  The SAP error message DFS_LOG013 indicates that the system is unable to provide an initial supply because there are no active Forecast Management Planning Objects (FMPOs) available. This error typically occurs in the context of demand planning or supply chain management within SAP, particularly when using the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP).
  Cause:
  
  No Active FMPOs: The primary cause of this error is that there are no active FMPOs in the system. FMPOs are essential for the planning process as they represent the objects that hold the forecast data.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the planning area or the planning book, leading to the absence of active FMPOs.
  Data Issues: There might be missing or incorrect data in the master data or transaction data that prevents the creation of FMPOs.
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not have any active FMPOs associated with it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check FMPO Status: Verify if there are any FMPOs created and if they are active. You can do this by navigating to the relevant planning area and checking the status of the FMPOs.
  Activate FMPOs: If there are FMPOs that are inactive, you may need to activate them. This can typically be done through the planning book or the relevant transaction in SAP.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the planning area and planning book are correctly configured. Check the settings to ensure that they are set up to generate FMPOs.
  Data Validation: Validate the master data and transaction data to ensure that all necessary data is present and correct. This includes checking for any missing key figures or attributes that are required for FMPO creation.
  Planning Version Check: Make sure you are using the correct planning version that has active FMPOs. You may need to switch to a different version if the current one does not have any active FMPOs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for demand planning) or /SAPAPO/MC90 (for planning book) to check and manage FMPOs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to FMPOs and this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation on demand planning and FMPOs for more detailed information on how to manage and troubleshoot these objects.
