• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MC01HEUR005 - No subsequent heuristic is set for heuristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MC01HEUR005 No subsequent heuristic is set for heuristic &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a heuristic is executed, but there is no subsequent heuristic defined in the system for the one that was run. This can happen during the planning process when the system expects a sequence of heuristics to be executed, but the configuration does not include a subsequent heuristic.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause is that the planning process is configured to expect a subsequent heuristic, but none has been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Heuristic Sequence: The heuristic that was executed may not have a valid next step defined in the planning sequence.
  Heuristic Definition Issues: There may be issues with the definition of the heuristics themselves, such as incorrect settings or missing parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Heuristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/HEUR to review the heuristics defined in the system.
  Ensure that the heuristic you are running has a subsequent heuristic defined in the planning sequence.
  
  
  
  Define Subsequent Heuristic:
  
  If a subsequent heuristic is not defined, you will need to create or assign one. This can be done in the heuristic configuration settings.
  Ensure that the sequence of heuristics makes sense for your planning scenario.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Sequence:
  
  Check the planning sequence in the transaction /SAPAPO/MC90 (or similar) to ensure that the heuristics are correctly linked.
  Make sure that the sequence of heuristics is logical and that each heuristic has a valid next step.
  
  
  
  Test Heuristic Execution:
  
  After making changes, test the heuristic execution again to ensure that the error does not occur.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on heuristic configuration and best practices.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Heuristics in SAP APO: Heuristics are algorithms used in SAP APO for planning purposes. They help in generating feasible plans based on certain constraints and objectives.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/HEUR, /SAPAPO/MC90, and others related to planning and heuristics.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address known issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP APO expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
