• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DEPL_MESS353 - ROP Loc. &1 Prod. &2 is ignored by supersession in inventory balancing ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DEPL_MESS353 indicates that a specific product at a particular location is being ignored due to supersession rules during the inventory balancing process in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This typically occurs when there are defined relationships between products, where one product is considered a replacement or alternative for another.
  Cause:
  
  Supersession Relationships: The product in question has been marked as superseded by another product. This means that the system recognizes that the older product should not be considered for planning or inventory balancing because it has been replaced by a newer product.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect or incomplete configuration of the supersession relationships in the system.
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not be set up correctly to consider the supersession relationships.
  Data Integrity: There may be issues with the master data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the product master or location master.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Supersession Settings: Check the supersession settings for the products involved. Ensure that the relationships are correctly defined in the product master data.
  
  Navigate to the product master data in SAP APO and verify the supersession relationships.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If necessary, adjust the planning parameters or version settings to ensure that the system considers the correct products during inventory balancing.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a data consistency check to ensure that all relevant master data is complete and accurate. This includes checking for any missing or incorrect entries in the product and location master data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on how to manage supersession relationships and inventory balancing.
  Testing: After making changes, run a test scenario to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the inventory balancing process works as expected.
