• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ110 - Placeholder entry star (*) is only allowed for setup groups ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ110 indicates that a placeholder entry (represented by the asterisk *) is being used incorrectly in the context of setup groups within the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when the system encounters a placeholder entry in a context where it is not permitted, such as in a production or planning scenario that does not involve setup groups.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The placeholder entry * is intended to be used only in setup groups. If it is used in other contexts, such as in production or planning data, the system will throw this error.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry where the placeholder was inadvertently used in a field that does not support it.
  Master Data Issues: The error can also arise from issues in master data configuration, where the setup groups are not properly defined or linked.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for setup groups in the APO system. Ensure that the placeholder entry is only used in the appropriate setup group contexts.
  Correct Data Entries: Go through the relevant data entries where the error is occurring and replace the placeholder * with a valid entry that is appropriate for that context.
  Check Master Data: Verify the master data related to the production process, including the setup groups, to ensure they are correctly defined and that the placeholder is used only where allowed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the correct usage of placeholders in setup groups and other contexts.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on setup group configurations.
