• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DRP_SC036 - All tables are switched off ?

  The SAP error message DRP_SC036, which states "All tables are switched off," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, particularly when dealing with the Demand Planning (DP) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) functionalities. This error indicates that the planning tables required for the specific planning area are not active or have been switched off, which prevents the system from executing planning functions.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Planning Tables: The planning tables associated with the planning area are not activated. This can happen if the tables were manually switched off or if there was an issue during the configuration.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the planning area settings or in the settings of the planning tables.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport might not have included the necessary settings for the planning tables.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or activate the planning tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate Planning Tables:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for Demand Planning) or /SAPAPO/SNP94 (for Supply Network Planning).
  Check the status of the planning tables associated with your planning area.
  If they are switched off, activate them by selecting the appropriate option.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the planning area in transaction /SAPAPO/MC8A (for Demand Planning) or /SAPAPO/MC8B (for Supply Network Planning).
  Ensure that all necessary tables are correctly configured and activated.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly transported.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the planning tables. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
