  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MA214 - Periodicity & not contained in InfoCube & ?

    The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MA214 Periodicity & not contained in InfoCube & typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a mismatch between the periodicity of the data being processed and the periodicity defined in the InfoCube.

    Cause:

    1. Periodicity Mismatch: The error indicates that the periodicity of the data (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) does not match the periodicity defined in the InfoCube. For example, if the InfoCube is set up to handle monthly data, but the data being processed is daily, this error will occur.

    1. Check InfoCube Configuration: Verify the periodicity settings of the InfoCube. Ensure that it is configured to accept the type of data you are trying to load.
    2. Adjust Data Source: If the data source is producing data with a different periodicity, consider adjusting the data extraction or transformation process to match the InfoCube's periodicity.
    3. Data Transformation: If necessary, transform the data to align with the InfoCube's periodicity before loading it. This may involve aggregating daily data into monthly data, for example.
    4. Review Data Load Process: Check the data load process (e.g., InfoPackage, DTP) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the data being loaded is in the expected format.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoCube and periodicity settings for additional guidance.

    Related Information:
