  Cause:
  
  Production Period Definition: The production period for the order may not be set correctly, or the split time is being calculated outside the allowed time frame.

  Solution:
  
  Check Production Period Settings: Review the production period settings in the APO system. Ensure that the production period is defined correctly and that the order's split time falls within this period.
  Adjust Order Scheduling: If the order is scheduled incorrectly, adjust the scheduling parameters to ensure that the split time is valid.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to order splitting and production periods in the APO system. Make sure they align with business requirements.
  Capacity Planning: Ensure that there are no capacity constraints that would prevent the order from being split at the desired time. If necessary, adjust the capacity planning settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error message and understanding the underlying configuration.
