• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC066 - Operation without operation number was deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC066 indicates that an operation was deleted without an associated operation number in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises during the synchronization process between the APO system and the SAP ERP system, particularly when dealing with production orders or planned orders.
  Cause:

  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the APO and ERP systems, leading to operations being referenced incorrectly.
  Manual Deletion: If an operation was manually deleted in the ERP system without proper synchronization, it could lead to this error when APO tries to process the order.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the APO system can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Operation Numbers: Verify that the operation numbers for the relevant production or planned orders are correctly defined and exist in the system. Ensure that no operations are missing or incorrectly referenced.
  Re-Synchronize Data: Perform a re-synchronization of the data between the APO and ERP systems. This can often resolve inconsistencies that lead to such errors.
  Review Deletion Logs: Check the logs for any recent deletions or changes made to operations in the ERP system. This can help identify if an operation was deleted without proper handling.
  Correct Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure they are set up correctly for handling operations and orders.
