• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ADV002 - The macro attempted to fix a key figure that cannot be fixed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ADV002 indicates that a macro in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) attempted to fix a key figure that is not eligible for fixing. This typically occurs in the context of planning and forecasting where certain key figures are either read-only or not set up to be fixed due to their configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Configuration: The key figure you are trying to fix may be configured as a read-only key figure in the planning area. This means it cannot be modified or fixed through macros.
  Data Locking: The key figure might be locked due to other processes or settings in the system, preventing any changes.
  Incorrect Macro Logic: The macro itself may have logic that incorrectly targets a key figure that is not intended to be fixed.
  Planning Area Settings: The planning area settings may not allow for fixing certain key figures based on their characteristics or the planning process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Figure Settings: Review the configuration of the key figure in the planning area. Ensure that it is set up to allow fixing. You can do this by navigating to the key figure settings in the SAP APO system.
  Modify the Macro: If the macro is incorrectly targeting a key figure, you may need to modify the macro logic to ensure it only attempts to fix key figures that are eligible for fixing.
  Review Planning Area Configuration: Ensure that the planning area is correctly configured to allow fixing of the desired key figures. This may involve checking the characteristics and settings associated with the planning area.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific key figure and its configuration.
  Testing: After making changes, test the macro again to ensure that it works as intended without triggering the error.
