• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1352 - Resources can only be checked with in-house prod. sources of supply ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1352 indicates that resources can only be checked with in-house production sources of supply. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, particularly when using the Capable-to-Match (CTM) planning function.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system attempts to check resources for external sources of supply (like vendors or third-party suppliers) while the configuration or the planning setup only allows for in-house production resources. This can happen due to:
  
  Resource Configuration: The resources in question may be configured to only allow in-house production.
  Planning Settings: The planning settings may restrict the use of external sources for certain materials or products.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the materials or resources may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing available external sources.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration:
  
  Go to the resource master data and verify the settings. Ensure that the resource is configured to allow external sources if that is intended.
  Check the resource type and ensure it is set up correctly for the planning scenario.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Settings:
  
  In the CTM settings, check the configuration for the planning run. Ensure that the planning strategy allows for external sources of supply.
  Review the CTM profile settings to see if there are restrictions on sourcing.
  
  
  
  Examine Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the relevant materials. Ensure that the procurement type is set correctly (e.g., whether it allows for external procurement).
  Verify the source list and info records to ensure that external sources are available and valid.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  If necessary, adjust the planning parameters in the CTM profile to include external sources of supply.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the configuration of resources and planning settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, run a test planning run to see if the error persists.
