  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER154 indicates that there is an issue with the cost function for a resource when trying to increase its capacity in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises during the planning process when the optimizer cannot find a complete cost function for the specified resource.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Cost Function Definition: The cost function for the resource may not be fully defined in the system. This could mean that the necessary parameters for calculating costs associated with increasing capacity are missing or incorrectly configured.
  Missing Cost Elements: The cost elements that are required to compute the cost function might not be maintained in the system.
  Resource Configuration Issues: The resource itself may not be properly configured in terms of capacity planning, leading to issues when the optimizer attempts to calculate costs for capacity increases.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the master data related to the resource, such as incorrect settings in the resource master data or planning book.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cost Function Configuration:
