• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSBATCH013 - Heuristic "&" does not allow a simulation version ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSBATCH013 Heuristic "&" does not allow a simulation version typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to run a heuristic that is not designed to work with simulation versions of data.
  Cause:
  
  Heuristic Limitation: The heuristic you are trying to execute is not configured to allow simulation versions. Some heuristics are designed to work only with the active version of the data, and they do not support simulation versions.
  Version Configuration: The version you are using may be set as a simulation version in the system, which is not compatible with the heuristic you are trying to run.
  Incorrect Settings: There may be incorrect settings in the planning book or in the heuristic configuration that prevent the use of simulation versions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Active Version: Switch to the active version of the data instead of a simulation version. This can usually be done in the planning book or the transaction where you are executing the heuristic.
  Check Heuristic Configuration: Review the configuration of the heuristic in the SAP APO system. Ensure that it is set up to allow simulation versions if that is required for your planning process. You may need to consult with your SAP APO administrator or a functional consultant to adjust the settings.
  Alternative Heuristic: If you need to run a heuristic with a simulation version, consider using a different heuristic that supports simulation versions. Check the documentation for the heuristics available in your system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help documentation for the specific heuristic you are using to understand its limitations and requirements regarding simulation versions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide updates or patches that could resolve the issue.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to heuristics and planning versions, such as /SAPAPO/HEUR for heuristic configuration and /SAPAPO/VER for version management.
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support for further assistance.
