• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM133 - Copying into the active version is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM133: Copying into the active version is not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to copy data into the active version of a planning object (like a planning book or a data view) that is currently in use or locked.
  Cause:
  
  Active Version Lock: The active version of a planning object is often locked to prevent changes while it is being used for planning or reporting. This ensures data integrity and consistency.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the copy operation into the active version.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to disallow copying into the active version as a safeguard against unintentional data changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Version Status: Ensure that the active version is not currently in use. If it is, wait until the version is free or the planning session is completed.
  Use a Different Version: Instead of copying into the active version, consider copying the data into a different version (e.g., a planning version that is not currently active).
  Permissions Review: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the copy operation. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to adjust permissions.
  System Configuration: If the copying into the active version is a requirement, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to see if the system settings can be adjusted to allow this operation under certain conditions.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MVM to manage versions and check their statuses.
