• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ABCCLASS036 - Key figure &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ABCCLASS036 Key figure &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a key figure that is being referenced in a planning function, planning book, or other configuration does not exist in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Key Figure: The key figure specified in the error message (&1) is not defined in the system. This could be due to a typo, or it may not have been created in the key figure master data.
  Incorrect Configuration: The planning book or data view may be incorrectly configured to reference a key figure that has been deleted or renamed.
  Transport Issues: If the key figure was created in a different system (e.g., development) and not transported correctly to the target system (e.g., production), it may not exist in the target environment.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the key figure, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to the key figure master data in the SAP APO system and verify if the key figure exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/KEYFIG) and checking the list of key figures.
  If the key figure does not exist, you may need to create it.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Book Configuration:
  
  Check the planning book or data view configuration to ensure that it is correctly set up to reference existing key figures. You can do this in the transaction /SAPAPO/MP30 (for planning books) or /SAPAPO/DP30 (for demand planning).
  If the key figure has been renamed or deleted, update the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the key figure was created in a different system, ensure that the transport request containing the key figure was successfully imported into the target system.
  If it was not transported, you may need to recreate the key figure in the target system or transport it again.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the key figure. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the planning function or process that is generating the error to identify where the reference to the non-existent key figure is being made.
