• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DEPL_MESS714 - VCL Demand Horizon: Prio fixed dem considered (product &1 location &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DEPL_MESS714 indicates that during the deployment process in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), the system has encountered a situation where the demand horizon for a specific product and location has been fixed due to priority considerations. This typically means that the system is unable to consider certain demand elements because they fall outside the defined demand horizon for that product/location combination.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Demand Horizon: The demand horizon for the product at the specified location has been set to a fixed value, which restricts the planning process from considering demands that fall outside this horizon.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the APO system for the product or location may have been configured to prioritize certain demands, leading to the exclusion of others.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy being used may inherently limit the demand horizon based on specific business rules or requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Demand Horizon Settings: Check the demand horizon settings for the product and location in the APO system. You may need to adjust these settings to allow for a broader range of demand to be considered.
  Adjust Priority Settings: If certain demands are being prioritized, review the priority settings and determine if they can be modified to allow for additional demands to be included in the planning process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or configuration guides for APO to understand how demand horizons are defined and managed.
  Testing: After making adjustments, run a test deployment to ensure that the changes have resolved the issue and that the system is now considering the appropriate demands.
  Collaboration with Key Users: Work with key users or business stakeholders to understand the implications of changing demand horizon settings and ensure that any changes align with business needs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/DP (Demand Planning) or /SAPAPO/SDP94 (Deployment) to access relevant planning data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on managing demand horizons in APO.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in the planning process are trained on how demand horizons work and the implications of fixed priorities in the planning process.
  
  By addressing the cause of the error and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue and improve the demand planning process in your SAP APO environment.
