• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP050 - Freeze horizon &1 (location &2, product &3) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP050 Freeze horizon &1 (location &2, product &3) typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly in the Demand Planning (DP) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) modules. This error indicates that there is a freeze horizon set for a specific product at a specific location, which prevents any changes to the planning data within that time frame.
  Cause:
  
  Freeze Horizon Configuration: The freeze horizon is a time period during which planning data cannot be changed. This is often set to ensure stability in the planning process, especially when forecasts or supply plans are being finalized.
  Planning Data Changes: If you attempt to make changes to the planning data (like adjusting forecasts or supply plans) that fall within the freeze horizon, this error will be triggered.
  Incorrect Settings: The freeze horizon may be set incorrectly or may not align with the intended planning processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Freeze Horizon Settings: Check the configuration of the freeze horizon for the specific product and location. You can do this in the SAP APO system under the relevant planning area settings.
  Adjust Planning Activities: If you need to make changes to the planning data, consider doing so outside of the freeze horizon. You may need to wait until the freeze period has passed.
  Modify Freeze Horizon: If necessary, you can adjust the freeze horizon settings to allow for changes. This can be done in the configuration settings of the planning area.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on how to manage freeze horizons in your specific version of SAP APO.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for demand planning) or /SAPAPO/SNP94 (for supply network planning) to view and manage planning data.
  Planning Area Configuration: The freeze horizon is typically defined in the planning area configuration, which can be accessed through the SAP APO configuration settings.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the planning data and configuration settings.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO support team for further assistance.
