  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OPT_DPS_PRIO010 indicates that there is an issue with the priority settings in the Demand Planning (DP) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) module of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO).

  Solution:
  
  Check Priority Settings: Review the priority settings for the relevant planning objects. Ensure that the priorities are assigned in ascending order without any gaps or duplicates.
  Adjust Priorities: If you find any discrepancies, adjust the priorities so that they follow a logical ascending order (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc.).
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks to prevent incorrect priority assignments in the future. This can include using validation rules or automated checks during data entry.
  Re-run the Optimization: After correcting the priorities, re-run the optimization process to see if the error is resolved.
