• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2353 - Partial confirmation of a dummy activity ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_ERROR2353 indicates that there is an issue with the partial confirmation of a dummy activity in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and scheduling when dealing with activities that are not directly linked to real production processes.
  Cause:
  
  Dummy Activity: The error is triggered when there is an attempt to partially confirm a dummy activity. Dummy activities are placeholders in the planning process and do not represent actual production or resource usage.
  Confirmation Logic: The system is designed to prevent partial confirmations for activities that do not have a real production basis, as this can lead to inconsistencies in planning and execution.
  Planning Parameters: Incorrect settings in the planning parameters or master data can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Full Confirmation: If the activity is a dummy activity, ensure that you are performing a full confirmation instead of a partial one. This may involve confirming the entire quantity or duration associated with the dummy activity.
  Review Planning Data: Check the planning data and ensure that the activities are correctly defined. If a dummy activity is not needed, consider removing it or replacing it with a valid activity.
  Adjust Configuration: If the business process requires partial confirmations for certain activities, review the configuration settings in the APO system to allow for this, if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to this error for any specific guidelines or updates that may address the issue.
