• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB027 - Attributes for key figure <&1> were deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB027 Attributes for key figure <&1> were deleted typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when there is an issue related to key figures and their associated attributes in the planning area.
  Cause:
  
  
  Deletion of Attributes: The error indicates that attributes associated with a specific key figure have been deleted. This can happen if:
  
  The attributes were manually removed from the key figure configuration.
  There was a change in the data model or planning area that led to the removal of attributes.
  A transport request was moved to a different system, and the attributes were not included or were deleted in the target system.
  
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Model: The data model may be inconsistent due to changes made in the configuration or during system upgrades.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the system is part of a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality, Production), inconsistencies can arise if the transport requests are not properly managed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Configuration: 
  
  Go to the key figure configuration in the SAP APO/IBP system and verify if the attributes for the specified key figure are indeed missing.
  If they are missing, you may need to re-add them or restore them from a backup if available.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: 
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If attributes were unintentionally deleted, you may need to re-transport the correct version of the configuration.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check: 
  
  Run consistency checks in the planning area to identify any other potential issues that may have arisen due to the deletion of attributes.
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TSM (for transport management) or /SAPAPO/MC62 (for consistency checks) to help diagnose the issue.
  
  
  
  Recreate Attributes: If the attributes were deleted and cannot be restored, you may need to recreate them manually in the key figure configuration.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP system for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search for the error message number or keywords in the SAP Support Portal.
