• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC201 - Block basis definition only exists in liveCache ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC201 indicates that there is an issue with the synchronization of data between the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system and the LiveCache. Specifically, this error occurs when a block basis definition exists only in the LiveCache and not in the APO database.
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is a data inconsistency between the APO database and the LiveCache. This can happen if the data was modified directly in LiveCache without corresponding updates in the APO database.
  Incomplete Data Transfer: If there was an interruption during the data transfer process between the APO and LiveCache, it could lead to missing definitions in the APO database.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the APO system or LiveCache can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Use transaction /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC to check the consistency of the data between the APO and LiveCache. This transaction can help identify any discrepancies.
  Re-Synchronize Data: If inconsistencies are found, you may need to re-synchronize the data. This can often be done by executing the relevant synchronization jobs or processes in APO.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
  Manual Correction: In some cases, you may need to manually correct the data in the APO database to match the definitions in LiveCache. This should be done with caution and ideally under the guidance of a technical consultant.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases notes that provide fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  System Restart: If the issue persists, consider restarting the LiveCache or the entire APO system, as this can sometimes resolve temporary inconsistencies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC for synchronization checks and /SAPAPO/OM_COCKPIT for monitoring.
  SAP Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for APO and LiveCache for best practices on data management and synchronization.
  Support: If the issue cannot be resolved internally, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, providing them with detailed information about the error and the steps taken to troubleshoot.
  
  Always ensure that you have proper backups and that you are following your organization's change management procedures when making changes to the system.
