• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ122 - Predecessor setup group and successor setup group must be identical ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ122 indicates that there is a mismatch between the predecessor setup group and the successor setup group in the context of production planning and scheduling within the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a production order or a planning scenario that involves setup groups.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The predecessor setup group and the successor setup group are not the same in the configuration of the production process.
  The system expects both setup groups to be identical for the transition between different production processes or operations, but they have been defined differently in the master data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Setup Groups:
  
  Go to the relevant master data (like the material master or the production version) and check the setup groups assigned to the predecessor and successor operations.
  Ensure that both setup groups are identical. If they are not, you will need to modify one of them to match the other.
  
  
  
  Modify Production Version:
  
  If you are using a production version, ensure that the setup groups defined in the production version for the operations are consistent.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the APO system related to setup groups. Ensure that the setup groups are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to setup groups and production planning to understand the requirements and constraints.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the scenario again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Setup Groups: These are used in production planning to define the conditions under which a setup is required when switching from one operation to another.
  Production Orders: When creating production orders, the system checks the setup groups to determine if a setup is needed and if the transition is valid.
  APO Configuration: Ensure that your APO configuration aligns with your production processes and that all relevant master data is correctly maintained.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
