  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CULL1073 indicates a "Date-independent explosion" in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises during the planning process when the system encounters issues related to the explosion of product structures or bills of materials (BOMs) that are not tied to specific dates.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Date Dependency: The error often occurs when the system attempts to explode a BOM or product structure that lacks date-dependent data. This can happen if the BOM is not valid for the planning horizon or if there are no valid versions of the BOM for the specified planning period.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the product or the planning object might not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to find the necessary data for the explosion.

  Use Date-Dependent BOMs: If applicable, consider using date-dependent BOMs to ensure that the system can find the correct structure for the specified planning period.
