• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES876 - Specify not more than one location for creation of new resource ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES876 indicates that when trying to create a new resource in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, more than one location has been specified, which is not allowed. This error typically arises during the resource creation process in the SAP APO system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system expects only one location to be specified for the new resource. If multiple locations are provided, the system cannot determine which location the resource should be associated with, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are specifying only one location when creating the new resource. Here are the steps to follow:
  
  
  Check Input Data: Review the data you are entering for the resource creation. Make sure that you are not inadvertently including multiple locations.
  
  
  Modify the Resource Creation Process:
  
  If you are using a transaction code or a program to create the resource, ensure that the input parameters are correctly set to allow only one location.
  If you are using a custom program or interface, check the logic to ensure it does not allow multiple locations to be passed.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you are using a specific transaction code (like /SAPAPO/RES01 for resource maintenance), ensure that you are following the correct steps to create a resource and that you are only selecting one location.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to resource creation in APO for guidance.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, try to create the resource again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO for resource management, such as /SAPAPO/RES01 (Resource Maintenance) and /SAPAPO/RES02 (Resource Overview).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create resources in the system, as sometimes authorization issues can lead to unexpected errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully create the resource in SAP APO.
