• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_UI089 - Overlapping operation does not have a successor activity of type P ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_UI089 indicates that there is an issue with overlapping operations in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, it suggests that an operation is overlapping with another operation, but it does not have a successor activity of type "P" (which typically stands for "Production" or "Process").
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Operations: The error occurs when two or more operations are scheduled to occur at the same time, and the system expects a successor operation of type "P" to follow the overlapping operation.
  Incorrect Planning Data: The planning data for the operations may be incorrectly defined, leading to conflicts in scheduling.
  Missing Successor: The operation that is overlapping may not have a defined successor operation that is of the required type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Operation Scheduling: Review the operations in the planning board or the relevant transaction to identify any overlapping operations. Ensure that the operations are scheduled correctly without overlaps unless intended.
  Define Successor Operations: If an operation is intended to overlap, ensure that it has a defined successor operation of type "P". You may need to create or adjust the successor operation accordingly.
  Adjust Operation Types: If the operations are not meant to overlap, consider adjusting the operation types or their scheduling to avoid conflicts.
  Review Resource Availability: Ensure that the resources assigned to the operations are available and not causing scheduling conflicts.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing operations and scheduling in APO.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for the planning board) or /SAPAPO/OPR (for operation planning) to analyze and adjust operations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  APO Configuration: Review the configuration settings in APO related to operation types and scheduling to ensure they align with your business processes.
