• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_ALL016 - A simulated PDS status already exists (&1, &2, &3, &4) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_ALL016 indicates that a simulated Production Data Structure (PDS) status already exists for the specified object. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to create or modify a PDS, but a simulation of that PDS is already active.
  
  Cause:
  
  Existing Simulation: The error is triggered because there is already a simulation of the PDS with the same key (identified by the parameters &1, &2, &3, &4).
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple users or processes may be trying to simulate or modify the same PDS simultaneously.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the APO system that prevent the creation of a new simulation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Simulations: 
  
  Use transaction /SAPAPO/PDS or relevant transaction codes to check if a simulation for the PDS already exists. If it does, you may need to delete or deactivate it before creating a new one.
