• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MVA/ABP_PP036 - No restriction of sales products / products ?

  The SAP error message /MVA/ABP_PP036 No restriction of sales products / products typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where product planning and sales order management are involved. This error indicates that there are no restrictions defined for the sales products or products in the system, which can lead to issues in planning or order processing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Product Restrictions: The system may not have any restrictions defined for the sales products, which means that the planning or allocation process cannot determine how to handle the products.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the APO or the relevant module where the product restrictions should be defined.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the products may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of necessary restrictions.
  Planning Area Settings: The planning area may not be configured to include the necessary product restrictions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Product Restrictions:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP and define the necessary restrictions for the sales products. This can usually be done in the APO system under the product master data or planning area settings.

  Review Planning Area Configuration:
  
  Check the planning area settings to ensure that they are correctly set up to include product restrictions. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to verify this.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to set up product restrictions in your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
