• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_DIS053 - Header PPM/PDS &1 and sub PPM/PDS &2 have different calendars ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_DIS053 indicates that there is a mismatch between the calendars of two different planning objects, specifically a Header PPM (Production Planning Model) or PDS (Production Data Structure) and a Sub PPM/PDS. This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when there is an inconsistency in the time-related data used for planning.
  Cause:
  
  Different Calendars: The primary cause of this error is that the header and sub PPM/PDS are assigned to different calendars. This can happen if the planning objects are created or modified with different calendar settings.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system where the calendars for the planning objects were not aligned properly.
  Data Migration: If data was migrated from another system or if there were changes made to the planning objects, it could lead to inconsistencies in calendar assignments.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Calendar Assignments:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/PPM or /SAPAPO/PDS to check the calendar assignments for both the header and sub PPM/PDS.
  Ensure that both planning objects are assigned to the same calendar.
  
  
  
  Modify Calendar Settings:
  
  If you find that the calendars are different, you will need to modify one of the planning objects to match the calendar of the other.
  This can typically be done in the planning object settings where you can change the calendar assignment.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  After making changes, perform a consistency check to ensure that there are no further discrepancies between the planning objects.
  
  
  
  Recreate Planning Objects:
  
  In some cases, if the planning objects are too inconsistent or complex, it may be easier to recreate one of the planning objects with the correct calendar settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to PPM and PDS for additional guidance on calendar settings and planning object configurations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message or provide patches and updates.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to planning objects and their configurations.
