• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT023 - Start of optimization should fall within the optimization horizon ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT023 indicates that the start of the optimization process is set outside the defined optimization horizon. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to run an optimization job that is not aligned with the time frames set in your planning parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Optimization Horizon Misconfiguration: The optimization horizon is defined in the planning settings, and if the start date/time for the optimization job falls outside this horizon, the error will occur.
  Incorrect Job Scheduling: The job may be scheduled to start at a time that is not within the allowed planning period.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be a mistake in the input parameters when initiating the optimization process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Optimization Horizon Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant planning area in SAP APO.
  Check the settings for the optimization horizon. This can usually be found in the configuration settings for the planning area or in the master data settings.
  Ensure that the optimization horizon is set correctly to encompass the time frame you are trying to optimize.
  
  
  
  Adjust Job Scheduling:
  
  If you are scheduling a job, make sure that the start time of the job is within the defined optimization horizon.
  Modify the scheduling parameters to align with the optimization horizon.
  
  
  
  Review Input Parameters:
  
  When initiating the optimization, double-check the parameters you are entering. Ensure that the start date/time is within the defined optimization horizon.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for APO to understand how to configure the optimization horizon and any related settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, run a test optimization to ensure that the error does not recur.
