• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PAGT_HEUR020 - No PPM/PDS to select (order &1); scheduling only with original PPM/PDS ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PAGT_HEUR020 indicates that there are no Production Planning Master Data (PPM) or Production Data Structure (PDS) available for the specified order. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is trying to schedule an order but cannot find the necessary planning data to do so.
  Cause:
  
  Missing PPM/PDS: The most common cause is that the PPM or PDS for the material in question has not been created or is not available in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the material or the planning area may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of the required PPM/PDS.
  Data Transfer Issues: There may be issues with data transfer from the ERP system to APO, resulting in missing or incomplete master data.
  Versioning Issues: The PPM/PDS might exist in a different version that is not active or not selected for the planning run.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check PPM/PDS Existence: Verify if the PPM or PDS exists for the material in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in APO (e.g., /SAPAPO/PPM for PPM or /SAPAPO/PDS for PDS) and checking if the data is available.
  Create or Update PPM/PDS: If the PPM or PDS does not exist, you will need to create it. If it exists but is not correctly configured, you may need to update it.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the material and ensure that the planning area and other relevant settings are correctly set up.
  Data Transfer: If you suspect data transfer issues, check the data transfer logs and ensure that the master data is being transferred correctly from the ERP system to APO.
  Version Management: Ensure that the correct version of the PPM/PDS is active and selected for the planning run. You may need to activate the appropriate version if it is not already active.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in APO, such as /SAPAPO/PPM, /SAPAPO/PDS, and /SAPAPO/MC62 for checking the planning area.
