• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ024 - & : Superior foreign key does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ024 indicates that there is an issue with a superior foreign key not existing in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when there is a problem with the data consistency in the APO system, particularly in the context of master data or planning data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Master Data: The superior key (which could be a product, location, or any other master data object) that is referenced does not exist in the system. This can happen if the master data was deleted or not created properly.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the APO and the ERP system, especially if data was transferred or replicated incorrectly.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the APO system can lead to this error, particularly in the context of planning books or data views.
  Transport Issues: If the data was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Master Data: Verify that the superior key exists in the relevant master data tables. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes in SAP (e.g., C223 for product master data).
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the APO system to identify any discrepancies between the APO and ERP systems. You can use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TSM for this purpose.
  Recreate Missing Data: If the superior key is indeed missing, you may need to recreate it in the system. Ensure that all necessary attributes and relationships are correctly defined.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that they are set up correctly. This includes checking planning books, data views, and any relevant settings in the APO configuration.
  Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport logs to identify any errors or warnings that may indicate what went wrong during the transport process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to this specific error message for additional guidance and troubleshooting steps.
