• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDEM198 - Stockholding location &1 (internal and external) not found in APO ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDEM198 indicates that a stockholding location specified in the system is not found in the Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) module. This error typically arises during planning or execution processes when the system cannot locate the specified stockholding location, either internally or externally.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Location: The stockholding location may not be defined in the APO system. This can happen if the location was not created or was deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The location may exist in the SAP ERP system but not be properly configured or replicated in the APO system.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data, such as incorrect or incomplete data entries for the stockholding location.
  Integration Issues: Problems with the integration between SAP ERP and APO can lead to discrepancies in the data available in both systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Location Definition:
  
  Verify that the stockholding location exists in the APO system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in APO (e.g., using the transaction /SAPAPO/LOC).
  If the location does not exist, you may need to create it.
  
  
  
  Replication from ERP:
  
  Ensure that the stockholding location is properly replicated from the SAP ERP system to the APO system. You can use transaction CIF (Core Interface) to check the status of the integration and replication.
