• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR107 - An activity has modes that can only be selected manually ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR107 indicates that there is an issue with the activity modes in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, this error occurs when an activity has been defined with modes that can only be selected manually, but the system is attempting to automatically assign a mode.

  Manual Mode Selection: The activity in question has been configured with modes that require manual selection. This means that the system cannot automatically determine which mode to use for the activity.

  Solution:
  
  Manual Mode Assignment: If the activity requires manual mode selection, you will need to manually assign the appropriate mode in the planning book or during the planning run.
  Review Activity Configuration: Check the configuration of the activity in the APO system. Ensure that the modes are set up correctly and that they align with the planning requirements.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: If automatic mode selection is desired, consider adjusting the planning parameters or the configuration of the activity to allow for automatic mode assignment.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to activity modes and planning settings to ensure that the configuration is correct.
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the planning process works as expected.
