• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR209 - Planning version not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR209 Planning version not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to perform an operation (like planning, executing a transaction, or running a report) using a planning version that is not permitted for the specific action or context.
  Cause:
  
  Planning Version Configuration: The planning version you are trying to use may not be configured correctly in the system. It could be inactive, or it may not be assigned to the relevant planning area.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified planning version.
  Version Status: The planning version might be set to a status that does not allow it to be used (e.g., it could be marked as "not allowed" for certain operations).
  Incorrect Settings in the Transaction: The transaction or report you are trying to execute may not support the planning version you are using.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Planning Version Settings:
  
  Go to the planning version configuration in the SAP system (transaction code /SAPAPO/VER).
  Ensure that the planning version is active and correctly configured for the relevant planning area.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:

  Verify Version Status:
  
  Ensure that the planning version is not set to a status that restricts its use. You can check this in the planning version settings.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Planning Version:
  
  If the current planning version is not allowed, consider using a different version that is permitted for the operation you are trying to perform.
