• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ118 - You cannot select setup matrix &; it does not contain setup transitions ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ118 indicates that you are trying to select a setup matrix in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, but the matrix does not contain any setup transitions. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and scheduling, where setup matrices are used to define the setup times and transitions between different production processes or products.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Setup Matrix: The setup matrix you are trying to use may not have been properly configured or populated with setup transitions.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the setup matrix itself, such as missing entries or incorrect settings.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies in the master data related to the setup matrix, such as missing or incorrect relationships between products or resources.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Setup Matrix Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code for maintaining setup matrices (usually in the APO module).
  Verify that the setup matrix you are trying to use has been correctly defined and contains the necessary setup transitions.
  
  
  
  Add Setup Transitions:
  
  If the setup matrix is empty, you will need to add the required setup transitions. This involves defining the transitions between different products or production processes that require setups.
  Ensure that the setup times and any other relevant parameters are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the products and resources involved. Ensure that all necessary relationships and dependencies are correctly set up.
  Make sure that the products have the correct setup matrix assigned to them.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up and configuring setup matrices in APO.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the setup matrix again to ensure that it now contains the required setup transitions and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO for managing setup matrices, such as /SAPAPO/CDP1 for creating or changing setup matrices.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message or setup matrices in general, as they may provide additional insights or fixes.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify setup matrices in the system.
