  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ORDER_SPLIT044 indicates that there is an issue with the time of a split operation in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, it means that the time you are trying to use for splitting an order does not fall within the time frame of the selected operation. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to split production orders or planned orders.
  Cause

  Re-schedule the Order: If necessary, re-schedule the order to adjust the operation times, ensuring that the split can occur at the desired time.
