• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP066 - Item &1/&2 has already been changed manually ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP066 indicates that an item in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system has been manually changed, and as a result, the system is preventing further automatic changes to that item. This is a common scenario in environments where both manual and automated processes are used for planning and inventory management.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An item (identified by the combination of &1 and &2, which typically represent the product and location) has been manually adjusted in the system.
  The system is trying to apply an automatic change (like a forecast or a planning run) to that item, but it detects that the item has already been altered manually, leading to a conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Manual Changes: Check the manual changes made to the item. If the changes are valid and necessary, you may need to decide whether to keep them or revert them.
  
  
  Revert Manual Changes: If the manual changes are not needed, you can revert them to allow the system to apply the automatic changes. This can usually be done through the relevant transaction in SAP.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If the manual changes are necessary, you may need to adjust your planning parameters or processes to accommodate both manual and automatic changes. This could involve:
  
  Setting up specific rules for when manual changes should take precedence.
  Adjusting the planning run settings to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling manual changes in the context of your specific planning scenario.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the changes, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO, such as /SAPAPO/ATPL for ATP checks or /SAPAPO/SDP94 for planning book changes.
  Change Logs: Check change logs or history for the item to understand what manual changes were made and by whom.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to make changes in the system, as this can affect how manual changes are handled.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and ensure that your planning processes run smoothly.
