  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSOPT380 indicates that there is a problem with the mode linkage between activities in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. Specifically, it states that two activities are linked using mode linkage, but there are no associated modes defined for those activities. This can occur in scenarios where you are trying to optimize or plan production activities that are supposed to be linked but lack the necessary configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Mode Definitions: The activities in question are linked through a mode linkage, but the modes that should define how these activities interact are not defined or are missing.

  Check Mode Definitions: 
  
  Go to the mode definitions in the SAP APO system and ensure that the modes for both activities are defined correctly.

  Update Master Data:
  
  Review the master data for the activities to ensure that all necessary information is present and correct.
