• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MAT199 - Save denied (prioritized changes made &1 &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MAT199 Save denied (prioritized changes made &1 &2) typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there are conflicting changes made to a material or planning object. This error indicates that there are prioritized changes that have been made to the data, and as a result, the system is preventing the save operation to avoid data inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Changes: The error usually arises when multiple users or processes are trying to make changes to the same material or planning object simultaneously, leading to conflicts.
  Prioritized Changes: The system has detected that there are changes that have been prioritized (e.g., changes that are more critical or have a higher priority) that need to be resolved before saving.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If a user tries to save changes while another user has locked the object for editing, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Conflicting Changes: Check the change logs or the change history for the material or planning object to identify what changes have been made and by whom.
  Coordinate with Other Users: If multiple users are working on the same object, coordinate with them to ensure that changes are made sequentially rather than simultaneously.
  Release Locks: If a lock is preventing the save, you may need to wait for the other user to complete their changes or, if appropriate, ask them to release the lock.
  Review Prioritized Changes: Understand the nature of the prioritized changes and determine if they need to be addressed before proceeding with your changes.
  Retry Saving: After resolving any conflicts or locks, try saving the changes again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/OMAT (for material master) or /SAPAPO/MC62 (for planning book) to review and manage materials and planning objects.
  Change Management: Implementing a change management process can help prevent such conflicts in the future. This may include better communication among users and possibly using a version control system for changes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or patches related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical support team for further assistance.
