• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1702 - Order &1 was deleted because it wasn't firmed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1702 indicates that a specific order (denoted by &1) was deleted because it was not firmed in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, specifically within the Capacity Planning or CTM (Capable-to-Match) processes.
  Cause:
  
  Unfirmed Orders: The primary reason for this error is that the order in question has not been firmed. In SAP APO, firming an order means that it is confirmed and cannot be changed or deleted by the planning run. If an order is not firmed, it is subject to deletion during the planning process.
  Planning Parameters: The settings in the planning parameters may allow for the deletion of unfirmed orders during the CTM run.
  Order Status: The order may have been in a status that does not allow it to be firmed, or it may have been created in a way that it is not intended to be firmed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Firm the Order: To prevent the order from being deleted in future planning runs, you should firm the order. This can typically be done in the order management transaction or through the relevant planning book.
  Review Planning Settings: Check the planning settings in the CTM profile to see if there are parameters that control the deletion of unfirmed orders. Adjust these settings if necessary.
  Order Creation Process: Ensure that the process for creating orders includes steps to firm them if they are intended to remain in the planning run.
  Monitor Order Status: Regularly monitor the status of orders to ensure they are firmed as needed, especially before running planning processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CTM Profiles: Review the CTM profile settings to understand how unfirmed orders are handled during planning runs.
  Order Management: Familiarize yourself with the order management processes in SAP APO to ensure that orders are created and managed correctly.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to this error message. SAP's official documentation can also provide insights into best practices for order management and planning.
  
  By addressing the cause of the error and implementing the suggested solutions, you can minimize the occurrence of this error in your SAP APO environment.
