• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MC01808 - Selection does not include block planned resources ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MC01808 indicates that the selection criteria you have used in your planning run do not include any block planned resources. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to execute a planning run, and the system cannot find any resources that meet the specified selection criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Block Planned Resources: The resources you are trying to plan may be set as "block planned," meaning they are not available for planning in the current context.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you have defined (such as location, product, or resource) may not match any resources that are currently available for planning.
  Resource Status: The resources may be in a status that prevents them from being included in the planning run (e.g., they may be inactive or not assigned to the planning area).
  Planning Area Configuration: The planning area may not be correctly configured to include the resources you are trying to plan.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Resource Status: Verify the status of the resources you are trying to plan. Ensure that they are active and not blocked for planning.
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you are using in your planning run. Make sure they are correctly defined and that they match the resources you want to include.
  Adjust Planning Area: Ensure that the planning area is configured to include the resources you are trying to plan. You may need to adjust the planning area settings or the resource assignments.
  Remove Block Planning: If appropriate, consider removing the block planning status from the resources if they should be included in the planning run.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on how to manage resources and selection criteria in APO.
