• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDEM227 - At least one input table must be filled ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDEM227: At least one input table must be filled typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly when working with Demand Planning or similar functionalities. This error indicates that the system expects at least one of the input tables required for a specific operation or transaction to be populated with data, but it is currently empty.
  Causes:
  
  Empty Input Tables: The most common cause is that the input tables required for the operation (e.g., planning, forecasting) are not filled with any data.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to retrieve data may not match any existing records, leading to empty input tables.
  Data Load Issues: There may have been issues during data loading processes (e.g., from SAP ERP to SAP APO) that resulted in missing data.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the planning area or planning book may lead to the system not recognizing the available data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Input Tables: Verify that the relevant input tables are populated with data. You can do this by checking the planning book or data view you are working with.
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using to retrieve data are correct and that they correspond to existing records in the database.
  Data Load Verification: If data is supposed to be loaded from another system (like SAP ERP), check the data transfer process to ensure that it completed successfully and that data is available in the APO system.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings for the planning area and planning book to ensure they are set up correctly to recognize and utilize the available data.
  Run Data Consistency Checks: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TSM to check for data consistency and resolve any issues that may be identified.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/DP for Demand Planning, /SAPAPO/TSM for data consistency checks, and /SAPAPO/MC for monitoring data loads.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
