  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSPRESENTA043 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to hide objects in a planning view without having selected any objects first. This error indicates that the system requires at least one object to be selected before it can perform the hide operation.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user has not selected any objects in the planning view before attempting to hide them. The system expects a selection to be made to determine which objects should be hidden.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Select Objects: Before attempting to hide any objects, ensure that you have selected the relevant objects in the planning view. You can usually do this by clicking on the objects you want to hide.
  
  
  Use the Selection Tools: If you need to select multiple objects, use the selection tools available in the interface (e.g., checkboxes, shift-click, or ctrl-click) to select the desired objects.
  
  
  Check Object Visibility: Ensure that the objects you want to hide are currently visible in the planning view. If they are not visible, you may need to adjust your view settings to display them first.
  
  
  Retry the Operation: After selecting the objects, try to hide them again. The operation should now proceed without error.
  
  
  Related Information:
