• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OPT_VSR_MSG405 - Means of Transport &1 cannot be used because of maximum distance of 0 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OPT_VSR_MSG405 indicates that a specific means of transport cannot be used due to a maximum distance constraint set to zero. This typically occurs in the context of transportation planning within the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, particularly when dealing with transportation lanes and their associated parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Maximum Distance Set to Zero: The primary cause of this error is that the maximum distance for the means of transport (e.g., truck, ship, etc.) has been set to zero in the configuration. This means that the system does not allow any transportation over any distance for that specific means of transport.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect or incomplete configuration settings in the transportation lanes or means of transport master data.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data related to the means of transport or the transportation lanes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check and Update Maximum Distance:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the means of transport in the SAP system.
  Update the maximum distance parameter to a value greater than zero. This can usually be done in the transaction code SPRO under the relevant transportation planning settings.
  
  
  
  Review Transportation Lane Settings:
  
  Check the transportation lanes associated with the means of transport. Ensure that the settings are correctly defined and that the maximum distance is appropriate for the routes being planned.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the master data for the means of transport is complete and accurate. This includes checking the transport mode, distance settings, and any other relevant parameters.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the means of transport can be utilized as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO for configuration, /SAPAPO/OM_ORDER for order management, or /SAPAPO/OPT for transportation optimization.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on configuring transportation planning and understanding the parameters related to means of transport.
  Support: If the issue persists after making the changes, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP APO expert for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the maximum distance setting and ensuring that all related configurations are correct, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully utilize the means of transport in your planning processes.
