Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC200 - Block basis definition only exists on the database ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC200 typically indicates an issue related to the synchronization of master data in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. Specifically, this error suggests that a block basis definition exists only in the database but is not properly synchronized with the APO system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The block basis definition may have been created or modified directly in the database without corresponding updates in the APO application layer.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that led to inconsistencies.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues or corruption that prevent the APO system from recognizing the block basis definition correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/OM_BLOCK to check the block basis definitions in the APO system. Ensure that the definitions in the database match those in the APO application.
  Recreate Block Basis Definition: If the block basis definition is indeed missing in the APO application, you may need to recreate it using the appropriate transaction or program.
  Synchronize Data: Use the synchronization tools available in APO to ensure that the master data is consistent between the database and the application layer.
  Transport Management: If the issue arose from a transport, check the transport logs for errors and ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  Database Check: If you suspect database corruption, work with your database administrator to run checks and repairs on the database.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/OM_BLOCK for managing block basis definitions and /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC for synchronization tasks.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review the SAP APO documentation for best practices on managing master data and synchronization processes.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or your internal SAP Basis team for further assistance.
