• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_UI068 - &1 validity ends after the PDS validity ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_UI068 typically indicates that there is a mismatch between the validity period of a characteristic or a planning object and the validity period of the associated PDS (Process Design Structure) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error usually arises when the validity of a characteristic or a planning object is set to end after the validity of the PDS, which can lead to inconsistencies in planning.
  Cause:
  
  Validity Period Mismatch: The characteristic or planning object has a validity period that extends beyond the validity of the PDS. This means that the system is trying to use a characteristic that is not valid for the time frame of the PDS.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the PDS or the characteristics may not have been set up correctly, leading to overlapping or conflicting validity periods.
  Data Maintenance Issues: There may be issues with how the data was maintained in the system, such as incorrect dates or missing entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Periods: Review the validity periods of both the characteristic and the PDS. Ensure that the validity of the characteristic does not extend beyond the validity of the PDS.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes in SAP APO (like /SAPAPO/PDS for PDS maintenance) and checking the validity dates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Dates: If you find that the validity dates are incorrect, adjust them accordingly. You may need to extend the validity of the PDS or shorten the validity of the characteristic to ensure they align properly.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the data to ensure that all related objects are correctly configured and that there are no other discrepancies.
  
  
  Recreate PDS: In some cases, if the PDS is significantly misconfigured, it may be easier to recreate the PDS with the correct settings and validity periods.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any specific guidelines or updates that may apply to your version of SAP APO.
