• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/AB_AT011 - Secondary data source (SDS) &1 has no child PDS (Customizing) ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/AB_AT011 indicates that a Secondary Data Source (SDS) is configured in the system, but it does not have an associated Parent Data Source (PDS). This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where data sources are used for planning and forecasting.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The SDS has been defined in the system, but the corresponding PDS has not been created or linked properly.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model where the SDS is expected to have a parent-child relationship with a PDS.
  Customizing Errors: Incorrect or incomplete customizing settings in the SAP system can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/PDS or the relevant customizing transaction for your version of SAP.
  Verify that the PDS exists for the SDS in question. If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  Ensure that the SDS is correctly assigned to the PDS.
  
  
  
  Create or Link PDS:

  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Review the customizing settings related to data sources in the SAP system.
  Ensure that all necessary configurations are in place and that there are no missing entries.
