• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OUTLDET015 - The to and from dates have been adjusted to match the period boundaries ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OUTLDET015 indicates that the system has automatically adjusted the "to" and "from" dates of a planning object to align with the defined period boundaries in the system. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the specified dates do not conform to the expected time intervals (e.g., days, weeks, months) defined in the planning settings.
  Cause:
  
  Date Misalignment: The user has entered dates that do not match the defined period boundaries. For example, if the planning periods are set to weekly intervals, and the user inputs a date that falls in the middle of a week, the system will adjust the dates to the start and end of the week.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration of the planning area or the planning book may enforce strict adherence to period boundaries, leading to automatic adjustments.
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently selected or entered incorrect dates that do not align with the expected periods.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Date Inputs: Check the "from" and "to" dates you have entered. Ensure they align with the defined period boundaries in your planning area.
  Adjust Dates Manually: If you need specific dates that do not align with the period boundaries, consider adjusting your planning settings or using a different planning book that allows for more flexibility.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access, review the configuration settings for the planning area to understand how period boundaries are defined and whether they can be adjusted to meet your needs.
  Use Period Boundary Dates: If you are looking to analyze or plan for a specific period, use the start and end dates that correspond to the defined periods in your planning area.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Planning Area Configuration: Understanding how your planning area is configured can help you avoid this error in the future. Check the settings for period definitions and boundaries.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on planning book settings and period definitions.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to enter dates correctly in the context of the planning books they are using.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and align your date inputs with the system's requirements.
