• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOG755 - Characteristics propagation to target plan & was not overwritten ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/EOG755 Characteristics propagation to target plan & was not overwritten typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with the propagation of characteristics from a source planning object to a target planning object. This can happen during the planning process when certain characteristics are expected to be transferred but are not due to various reasons.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the planning area or the characteristics may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in propagation.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the source and target planning objects, which can prevent the characteristics from being overwritten.
  Propagation Rules: The rules defined for characteristic propagation may not allow for overwriting existing values in the target plan.
  Locking Issues: If the target planning object is locked or in use by another process, it may prevent the propagation of characteristics.
  Missing Characteristics: The characteristics that are supposed to be propagated may not exist in the target planning object.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the planning area and ensure that the characteristics are correctly defined for propagation.

  Unlock Objects: Ensure that the target planning object is not locked by another process. If it is, wait for the process to complete or unlock it if necessary.
  Update Characteristics: If the characteristics are missing in the target planning object, you may need to add them or adjust the source planning object to ensure compatibility.
  Logs and Traces: Check the application logs and traces for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context on why the propagation failed.
