• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSSIMULATI020 - Simulation version &1 copied to active version ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CDPSSIMULATI020 indicates that a simulation version has been successfully copied to the active version in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the operation was completed.
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs when a user or a process attempts to copy a simulation version of a planning scenario to the active version. The simulation version is often used for testing or what-if analysis, and once the user is satisfied with the results, they may choose to copy it to the active version to make those changes effective.
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Message: Since this is an informational message, you should first confirm that the copying process was intended and that the simulation version was meant to be copied to the active version.
  
  
  Check the Active Version: After the message appears, check the active version to ensure that the data from the simulation version has been copied correctly. You can do this by navigating to the relevant planning area and reviewing the data.
  
  
  Validation: Validate the data in the active version to ensure that it meets your expectations and that no unintended changes were made during the copy process.
  
  
  Documentation: If this operation is part of a larger process, document the changes made for future reference and to maintain a clear audit trail.
  
  
  User Training: If users are frequently encountering this message and are unsure of its implications, consider providing training or documentation on the purpose of simulation versions and the process of copying them to active versions.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Simulation Versions: These are used in APO for testing and analysis without affecting the actual planning data. They allow users to experiment with different scenarios.
  Active Version: This is the version of the planning data that is currently in use and affects production planning and execution.
  APO Planning Areas: Understanding the structure of planning areas and how versions are managed within them is crucial for effective use of APO.
  
  If you encounter any issues after the copy operation, such as data inconsistencies or unexpected results, further investigation may be required to identify the root cause and resolve any underlying issues.
