• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CLPRP097 - Source location &1 of RFQ &3 differs from &2 of response &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CLPRP097 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a mismatch between the source location specified in a Request for Quotation (RFQ) and the source location in the corresponding response. This error can arise during the processing of procurement or sourcing activities in SAP APO.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that the source location defined in the RFQ does not match the source location in the response. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Data Entry Error: The source location in the RFQ may have been entered incorrectly.
  Changes in Master Data: The source location may have been changed in the master data after the RFQ was created.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies between the RFQ and the response data, possibly due to manual changes or updates in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are causing the mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Verify Source Locations:
  
  Check the source location in the RFQ (transaction code ME41 or ME47) and ensure it is correct.
  Compare it with the source location in the response (transaction code ME47 or ME49) to identify discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Update RFQ or Response:
  
  If the RFQ source location is incorrect, update it to match the response source location.
  Conversely, if the response is incorrect, you may need to request a new response from the supplier with the correct source location.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Review the relevant master data (material master, vendor master, etc.) to ensure that the source locations are correctly defined and consistent.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to check if there are any settings that might be causing the mismatch.
