• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOM036 - Different location types in tables /SAPAPO/LOC - /SAPAPO/LOCMAP ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/LOM036 indicates that there is a mismatch between the location types in the tables /SAPAPO/LOC (which contains location master data) and /SAPAPO/LOCMAP (which maps locations to their respective types). This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is trying to perform operations that require consistent location type definitions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Inconsistent Location Types: The location types defined in the /SAPAPO/LOC table do not match the expected types in the /SAPAPO/LOCMAP table. This can happen if locations were modified or if there were changes in the configuration that were not properly reflected in both tables.
  Data Corruption: There may be data integrity issues or corruption in the tables that lead to mismatched entries.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of location types or mappings that were not properly updated in the relevant tables.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Location Types:
  
  Use transaction code /SAPAPO/LOC to view the location master data and verify the location types.
  Use transaction code /SAPAPO/LOCMAP to check the mapping of location types.
  
  
  
  Identify Mismatches:
  
  Compare the entries in both tables to identify any discrepancies in location types.
  Look for any locations that have been defined in one table but not in the other.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  If you find mismatches, you may need to update the entries in either /SAPAPO/LOC or /SAPAPO/LOCMAP to ensure consistency.
  You can either delete incorrect entries or add missing ones as necessary.
