  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_TS215 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Supply Network Planning (SNP) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, this error arises when both branching and alternative rules are being used simultaneously in a way that is not supported.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Branching and Alternative Rules Conflict: The error occurs when the planning run attempts to use both branching and alternative rules at the same time. In SNP, branching rules are used to define different paths in the planning process, while alternative rules are used to provide different options for the same planning object. Using both simultaneously can lead to conflicts in the planning logic.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the SNP settings or in the way the rules are defined in the planning book or in the SNP profile.
  
  
  Data Issues: There could be inconsistencies or errors in the master data or transaction
