• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR194 - Mode of non-SNP activity covers a resource that cannot be bucket planned ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR194 indicates that there is an issue with the planning mode of a non-SNP (Supply Network Planning) activity that is trying to cover a resource that cannot be bucket planned. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with production planning and scheduling.
  Cause:

  Activity Type: The non-SNP activity may be defined in a way that it does not align with the resource's planning capabilities.
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not support the required planning mode for the resource.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data related to the resource or the activity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Resource Settings:

  Check the configuration of the non-SNP activity to ensure it is set up correctly and is compatible with the resource.
  Ensure that the activity type is appropriate for the resource being used.
  
  
  
  Planning Version:
  
  Ensure that the planning version you are using is correctly set up and supports the required planning modes for the resources and activities involved.
  
  
  
  Master Data Validation:
