  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSSIMULATI018 indicates that a Business Add-In (BAdI) has not been adjusted to accommodate new methods, specifically "Copy" or "Save as". This error typically arises in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when custom implementations of BAdIs are not updated to handle new functionalities introduced in the system.
  Cause:
  
  BAdI Implementation: The BAdI implementation for /SAPAPO/CDPSSIMULATI has not been updated to include the new methods "Copy" or "Save as". This can happen if the BAdI was originally implemented before these methods were introduced.
  System Upgrade: If the system has been upgraded to a newer version of SAP APO, new methods may have been added that the existing BAdI implementation does not account for.
  Missing Logic: The logic for handling the new methods may not have been implemented in the BAdI, leading to the error when these methods are invoked.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction SE18 (BAdI Definition) and find the BAdI /SAPAPO/CDPSSIMULATI.
  Check the existing implementations using transaction SE19 (BAdI Implementation).
  Update the implementation to include handling for the "Copy" and "Save as" methods. This may involve adding new logic to process these methods appropriately.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for the BAdI to understand the expected behavior for the new methods. This can provide insights into what needs to be implemented.
  
  
  
  Testing:
