• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2071 - Private and reference objects have the same OID ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2071 indicates that there is a conflict between private and reference objects in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. Specifically, it means that two objects (one private and one reference) are being treated as having the same Object Identifier (OID), which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Object Identifier Conflict: The error typically arises when a private object (an object that is specific to a user or session) and a reference object (a shared object) are assigned the same OID. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect data handling or manipulation in the system.
  Issues during data import or export processes.
  Problems with object creation or modification in the APO system.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: If there are inconsistencies in the database or if the system has not been properly synchronized, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Definitions: Review the definitions of the private and reference objects to ensure they are correctly defined and do not share the same OID.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the APO system to identify and resolve any inconsistencies. This can often be done using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/OM_CNS or similar tools available in your SAP environment.
  
  
  Delete or Rename Conflicting Objects: If you identify the conflicting objects, consider deleting or renaming one of them to resolve the OID conflict.
  
  
  Recreate Objects: If the objects are corrupted or incorrectly defined, you may need to recreate them. Ensure that the new objects are assigned unique OIDs.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that resolve known issues related to this error.
