• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CULL1031 - You cannot use heuristic SAP_CHECK_01 for an active planning version ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CULL1031 indicates that you are trying to use the heuristic SAP_CHECK_01 in an active planning version, which is not allowed. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you attempt to execute a planning run with a heuristic that is not compatible with the current planning version.
  Cause:
  
  Active Planning Version: The heuristic you are trying to use is not designed to be executed in an active planning version. Heuristics in SAP APO can be restricted to certain planning versions, and SAP_CHECK_01 may be one of those heuristics that cannot be executed in an active version.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the APO system that restrict the use of certain heuristics in active planning versions.
  Version Status: The planning version you are using might be set to a status that does not allow the execution of certain heuristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Version: Verify the status of the planning version you are using. If it is active, consider switching to a different version that allows the use of the heuristic.
  Use a Different Heuristic: If SAP_CHECK_01 is not compatible with the active planning version, consider using a different heuristic that is allowed for the active version.
  Review Heuristic Settings: Check the settings for the heuristic in the SAP APO system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or APO configuration team to understand the restrictions and possibly adjust the settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific heuristic and its compatibility with planning versions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue or provide updates or patches that could resolve the problem.
  
  Related Information:
