• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1326 - Validity of component &1 does not correspond with validity of source &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1326 indicates that there is a mismatch in the validity periods of a component and its source in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically in the context of the Capable-to-Match (CTM) functionality. This error typically arises when the validity dates of a component (such as a material or resource) do not align with the validity dates of the source (such as a production order or a supply source).
  Cause:
  
  Validity Period Mismatch: The component you are trying to use has a validity period that does not overlap with the validity period of the source. For example, if a component is valid only from January 1 to January 10, but the source is valid from January 11, this will trigger the error.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data configuration for either the component or the source, such as incorrect validity dates or missing entries.
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not have the correct data or may not be aligned with the current master data settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Review the validity dates of both the component and the source. Ensure that they overlap for the period you are trying to plan.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant master data in SAP and checking the validity periods.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data: If you find that the validity periods do not match, you may need to adjust the master data:
  
  Update the validity dates of the component or the source to ensure they align.
  Ensure that the component is available for the required planning period.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Version: Make sure that you are using the correct planning version that contains the appropriate master data.
  
  You can check the planning version settings in the CTM configuration.
  
  
  
  Re-run Planning: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the planning process to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue continues, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further troubleshooting.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/CTM for CTM settings or /SAPAPO/MAT1 for material master data to check and adjust the relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  APO Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in SAP APO, especially those related to CTM and master data management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the validity periods of components and sources are correctly aligned for your planning activities.
