• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF855 - Changing of SSD group allowed only by ui ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF855 Changing of SSD group allowed only by UI typically occurs in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, particularly when dealing with the Core Interface (CIF) between SAP ERP and SAP APO. This error indicates that there is an attempt to change the SSD (Supply Source Determination) group through a method that is not permitted, specifically outside of the user interface (UI).
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Method of Change: The error arises when a user or a process tries to change the SSD group through a background process or programmatic interface instead of the designated user interface.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict changes to certain fields, including the SSD group, to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the SSD group through the intended method.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use the UI: The primary solution is to make the changes through the appropriate SAP GUI transaction or application that allows for modifications to the SSD group. This ensures compliance with the system's design.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that the SSD group can be modified as needed. If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or APO configuration team.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to the SSD group. This may involve checking roles and permissions assigned to the user.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to CIF and SSD group management for any specific guidelines or updates that may affect this functionality.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on SSD group management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for Supply Network Planning) or /SAPAPO/CIF (for CIF monitoring) to manage and monitor CIF processes.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct procedures for modifying SSD groups and understand the implications of making such changes.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation.
