  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSCUSTOMIZ304 indicates that there is an issue with the PP/DS (Production Planning/Detailed Scheduling) alert profile configuration in SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization). Specifically, it means that the alert profile referenced in the overall profile does not exist or is not correctly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Alert Profile: The alert profile that is referenced in the overall profile has not been created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The overall profile may be incorrectly configured to point to a non-existent or incorrect alert profile.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the alert profile may not have been included in the transport request.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the system from accessing the alert profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Alert Profile:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/CDP1 (or the relevant transaction for managing alert profiles).
