• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOM003 - Mapping table passed on is initial ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOM003 Mapping table passed on is initial typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a function or process is expecting a mapping table to be provided, but the table is either empty or not initialized.

  Cause:
  
  Empty Mapping Table: The mapping table that is supposed to be passed to the function is empty or has not been initialized properly.

  Check Initialization: Ensure that the mapping table is properly initialized before it is passed to the function. You can do this by checking the code or the process that generates the mapping table.
  Populate the Mapping Table: If the mapping table is supposed to be populated with data, ensure that the logic to fill it is executed correctly before the function call.
  Review Function Parameters: Verify that the function or method being called is being provided with the correct parameters, including the mapping table.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution and see where the mapping table is being set or passed. This can help identify why it is empty.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in SAP APO related to the specific process you are working with to ensure everything is set up correctly.
