• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEGUI813 - Only one profile can be selected as standard ?

  The SAP error message PPEGUI813: "Only one profile can be selected as standard" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module, particularly when dealing with planning profiles.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a user attempts to set multiple planning profiles as the "standard" profile in the system. In SAP, only one profile can be designated as the standard profile for a specific planning area or context. The standard profile is used as the default for various planning activities, and having more than one designated as standard creates ambiguity for the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Existing Profiles: Check the existing planning profiles in the relevant configuration settings. You can do this by navigating to the appropriate transaction code (e.g., /SAPAPO/PPDS_PROFILE or similar, depending on your version).
  
  
  Review Standard Profile Settings: Look for the profile that is currently set as standard. You can usually find this in the profile settings or configuration area.
  
  
  Change Standard Profile:
  
  If you need to change the standard profile, first ensure that the current standard profile is no longer needed as the default.
  Set the desired profile as the standard by selecting it and marking it accordingly.
  Ensure that no other profile is marked as standard at the same time.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: After making the changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the desired profile is functioning as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing planning profiles, such as /SAPAPO/PPDS_PROFILE, /SAPAPO/MC8, or others depending on your specific SAP version.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or guides specific to your version of SAP for detailed instructions on managing planning profiles.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to planning profiles, as this may be restricted based on user roles.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
