• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP_APPR203 - &1 fixed demands and fixed receipts were found ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDRP_APPR203 indicates that there are fixed demands and fixed receipts found in the planning run. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system encounters fixed elements that cannot be adjusted during the planning process.
  Cause:
  
  
  Fixed Demands: These are demands that have been marked as fixed in the system, meaning they cannot be altered or adjusted by the planning run. This could be due to specific business requirements where certain customer orders or forecasts must be fulfilled exactly as they are.
  
  
  Fixed Receipts: Similar to fixed demands, fixed receipts are supply elements that are also marked as fixed. This means that the system cannot change these receipts during the planning process, which can lead to conflicts if the fixed demands cannot be met with the available fixed receipts.
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the APO system may not allow for flexibility in adjusting these fixed elements, leading to the error message.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Fixed Elements: Check the fixed demands and fixed receipts in the system. Determine if they are indeed necessary to be fixed or if they can be adjusted. If they can be adjusted, consider changing their status to allow for flexibility in planning.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Review the planning parameters and settings in the APO system. Ensure that the settings allow for the necessary adjustments to be made during the planning run.
  
  
  Re-evaluate Demand and Supply: Analyze the overall demand and supply situation. If the fixed demands cannot be met with the available fixed receipts, consider adjusting either the demand or the supply to resolve the conflict.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling fixed demands and receipts in APO.
  
  
  Engage with SAP Support: If the issue persists and cannot be resolved through the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for demand planning) or /SAPAPO/SDP95 (for supply planning) to analyze the fixed demands and receipts.
  APO Configuration: Understanding the configuration settings in APO related to demand and supply planning can help in preventing such issues in the future.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your APO system, check if any user exits or BAdIs are affecting the planning behavior.
  
  By addressing the fixed demands and receipts appropriately, you can resolve the error and ensure a smoother planning process in SAP APO.
