  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PE173 - Not all triggers in selection are active ?

    The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PE173 Not all triggers in selection are active typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to execute a planning run, such as a heuristic or optimization run, and not all the triggers (or planning objects) that you have selected are active. This can happen for various reasons, including configuration issues or data inconsistencies.

    Cause

    1. Inactive Triggers: The most common cause is that some of the planning objects (like products, locations, or resources) in your selection do not have active planning triggers. This means that they are not set up to be included in the planning run.
    2. Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or planning data that prevent certain triggers from being activated.
    3. Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used for the planning run may include objects that are not relevant or not set up correctly in the system.

    Solution

    1. Check Trigger Activation:

      • Go to the relevant planning area and check the settings for the planning objects you are trying to include in the run. Ensure that the triggers for these objects are active.
      • You can do this by navigating to the planning area in the SAP APO system and checking the settings for the specific products or resources.
    2. Review Selection Criteria:

      • Review the selection criteria you are using for the planning run. Make sure that you are only selecting active and relevant planning objects.
      • If necessary, modify the selection criteria to exclude any inactive triggers.
    3. Master Data Consistency:

      • Check the master data for the planning objects involved. Ensure that all necessary data is correctly maintained and that there are no inconsistencies.
      • You can use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MDP (for master data) to check and maintain the relevant data.
    4. Re-activate Triggers:

      • If you find that certain triggers are inactive, you may need to re-activate them. This can usually be done in the configuration settings of the planning area.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing planning triggers and resolving related issues.

    Related Information

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO, such as /SAPAPO/MC62 (for planning book settings) and /SAPAPO/MDP (for master data).
    • SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide specific fixes or patches.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
