• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC053 - A characteristic only exists in liveCache ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC053 indicates that a characteristic is present only in the liveCache and not in the SAP APO (Advanced Planner and Optimizer) database. This typically occurs in scenarios where the data synchronization between the liveCache and the APO database is not properly aligned, leading to inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: The characteristic may have been created or modified in the liveCache without corresponding updates in the APO database.

  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model or characteristics in the liveCache that have not been reflected in the APO database.
  Transport Issues: If the characteristic was transported from one system to another, it may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check LiveCache Data: Use transaction /SAPAPO/LC10 to check the characteristics in the liveCache. Ensure that the characteristic exists and is correctly defined.
