• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/BRFPLUS023 - Object &1 &2 cannot be excluded due to order hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/BRFPLUS023 indicates that there is an issue with excluding a specific object (like a product or order) from a certain process due to the order hierarchy. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where order management and planning are involved.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Order Hierarchy Constraints: The object you are trying to exclude is part of a hierarchy that does not allow for exclusion. For example, if you are trying to exclude a parent order, all child orders must also be excluded, which may not be possible due to dependencies.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or relationships between the objects that prevent exclusion. For instance, if the object is linked to other orders or processes that are still active, it cannot be excluded.
  Configuration Issues: There might be configuration settings in the system that enforce certain rules regarding order exclusions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Order Hierarchy: Review the order hierarchy to understand the relationships between the objects. Ensure that you are not trying to exclude a parent order without excluding its child orders.
  Review Dependencies: Identify any dependencies that may be preventing the exclusion. You may need to resolve these dependencies before attempting to exclude the object.
  Adjust Configuration: If applicable, review the configuration settings related to order management and exclusion rules. You may need to adjust these settings to allow for the exclusion.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling order exclusions in your version of SAP.
  Seek Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your system's configuration and business processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to order management and planning, such as /SAPAPO/ORDER or /SAPAPO/MC90, which may help in analyzing the order hierarchy.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in order management are trained on the implications of order hierarchies and exclusions to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
