  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP_APPR189 Planned order &1 has more than one schedule line typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with the planned order that has multiple schedule lines associated with it. This can lead to confusion in the planning process, as the system expects a single schedule line for a planned order.
  Cause:

  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or transaction data that lead to the creation of multiple schedule lines for a single planned order.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the APO system or in the integration with the ERP system can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Planned Order: Check the details of the planned order (using transaction code MD04 or similar) to see how many schedule lines are associated with it. You can do this by navigating to the planned order and reviewing its schedule lines.
  Consolidate Schedule Lines: If the planned order has multiple schedule lines, consider consolidating them into a single schedule line if that aligns with your planning requirements. This may involve adjusting the quantities or delivery dates.
  Adjust Master Data: Ensure that the master data (material master, BOM, routing, etc.) is correctly set up to prevent the creation of multiple schedule lines for planned orders.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in both APO and the ERP system to ensure that they are set up correctly for the type of planning you are performing.
