  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the APO system may not allow for changes or adjustments in the specified period due to the freeze horizon settings.

  Solution:
  
  Review Freeze Horizon Settings: Check the configuration of the freeze horizon in the APO system. If necessary, adjust the freeze horizon settings to allow for expediting in the required periods.
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Review and modify the planning parameters related to the specific product or resource to ensure that they align with the business needs and allow for expediting.
  Change the Planning Strategy: If the current planning strategy does not support expediting within the freeze horizon, consider changing the strategy to one that does.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on managing freeze horizons and expediting processes.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it involves complex configurations or customizations.

  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in planning and scheduling are trained on the APO system and understand the implications of freeze horizons and expediting.
