• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_TSDM018 - For time series data type &1 only periodicity &2 allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_TSDM018 indicates that there is an issue with the periodicity of the time series data type you are trying to work with in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, the error states that for the specified time series data type (&1), only the specified periodicity (&2) is allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to use a time series data type that has a defined periodicity (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) that does not match the periodicity of the data you are trying to input or process.
  The configuration of the time series data type in the system does not allow for the periodicity you are attempting to use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Time Series Data Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the time series data type in SAP APO.
  Verify the allowed periodicities for the specific time series data type (&1). Ensure that the data you are trying to input matches the allowed periodicity (&2).
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Input:
  
  If the data you are trying to input has a different periodicity than what is allowed, you may need to adjust your data to match the required periodicity.
  For example, if the time series data type only allows monthly data, ensure that you are not trying to input daily or weekly data.
  
  
  
  Modify Time Series Data Type:
  
  If necessary, you can modify the time series data type configuration to allow for the desired periodicity. This may require administrative access and should be done with caution, as it can affect other processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for time series data types and periodicities to understand the constraints and requirements better.
