  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDEM003 InfoSource &1 not found in semantics mapping typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is unable to find a specific InfoSource in the semantics mapping configuration. This can happen during data extraction, planning, or when trying to access certain functionalities that rely on the InfoSource.
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoSource: The specified InfoSource (&1) is not defined in the system or has not been properly configured.
  Incorrect Configuration: The semantics mapping for the InfoSource may not have been set up correctly, or the InfoSource may have been deleted or renamed.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoSource was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the InfoSource.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP APO system and check if the InfoSource exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/SEMANTIC).

  Review Semantics Mapping:
  
  Ensure that the semantics mapping for the InfoSource is correctly configured. You can check this in the transaction /SAPAPO/SEMANTIC or related configuration areas.
  If necessary, reconfigure the semantics mapping to include the missing InfoSource.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the InfoSource was recently transported, verify that the transport request included all necessary objects and that they were activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user encountering the error has the appropriate authorizations to access the InfoSource. You may need to consult with your security team to verify and adjust user roles if necessary.
