• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MA097 - No suitable selection found ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MA097 No suitable selection found typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to execute a planning function or a transaction that requires a selection of data, but the system cannot find any suitable data to process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a planning run, when trying to create a planning view, or when executing a heuristic.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Data Available: The most common cause is that there is no data available in the planning area for the selection criteria specified. This could be due to:
  
  No planned orders or stock levels for the selected time period.
  Incorrect selection criteria (e.g., plant, product, or time frame).
  
  
  
  Incorrect Planning Area: The planning area being used may not contain the relevant data or may not be properly configured.
  
  
  Data Locking: If the data is locked by another user or process, it may not be available for selection.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: Missing or incorrect master data (like product master, location master, etc.) can lead to this error.
  
  
  Selection Profile Issues: The selection profile used may not be set up correctly to include the necessary data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is data available in the planning area for the specified selection criteria. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 to view the data.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using are correct and that they match the data in the planning area. Adjust the criteria if necessary.
  
  
  Validate Planning Area Configuration: Check the configuration of the planning area to ensure it is set up correctly and contains the necessary data.
  
  
  Check for Data Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the data that might be preventing access.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Ensure that all necessary master data is correctly maintained and available in the system.
  
  
  Adjust Selection Profile: If you are using a selection profile, review its settings to ensure it includes the necessary data.
  
  
  Run Planning Functions in Background: If the error occurs during a planning run, consider running the planning function in the background to see if it processes differently.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/MC90 (to check planning data), SM12 (to check for locks), and /SAPAPO/MC94 (to view planning area settings).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for APO to understand the configuration and data requirements for planning areas and functions.
