• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS060 - Current system &1 is ALE central system: redistribution not possible ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS060 Current system &1 is ALE central system: redistribution not possible typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when there is an attempt to redistribute data in a system that is configured as an Application Link Enabling (ALE) central system.
  Cause:
  
  ALE Central System: The system is configured as an ALE central system, which means it is responsible for managing data distribution to other systems. In this configuration, certain operations, such as redistribution of data, are restricted to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  Data Redistribution Attempt: The error is triggered when a user or process attempts to redistribute data (e.g., planning data) in a system that is not allowed to perform this operation due to its role as a central system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Configuration: Verify the configuration of the system to confirm that it is indeed set up as an ALE central system. This can be done by checking the system settings in transaction ALE or SIMG.
  Use a Different System: If redistribution is necessary, you may need to perform the operation in a different system that is not configured as an ALE central system. This could be a satellite system or a system designated for redistribution tasks.
  Adjust Process: If the redistribution is part of a larger process, consider adjusting the process to avoid the need for redistribution from the central system. This may involve changing the way data is managed or transferred between systems.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to ALE and data redistribution for any specific guidelines or best practices that may apply to your scenario.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance tailored to your specific system configuration and business processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ALE Configuration: Understanding how ALE works and how systems are configured in an SAP landscape is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of central and satellite systems in the context of ALE.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as BD87 (for monitoring ALE processing) and SIMG (for configuration settings).
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and understand the implications of working with an ALE central system in SAP.
