• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER806 - Starting product decomposition ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER806 typically occurs during the product decomposition process in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for finding an appropriate solution.
  Cause
  The error message /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER806 generally indicates that there is an issue with the product decomposition process. Common causes include:
  
  
  Missing Master Data: The required master data for the products involved in the decomposition may be incomplete or missing. This includes product definitions, bill of materials (BOM), or routing information.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the optimizer or the planning area may not be set up correctly, leading to issues during the decomposition process.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as incorrect or conflicting information in the master data or planning data.
  
  
  Capacity Constraints: If there are capacity constraints that prevent the optimizer from performing the decomposition, this error may occur.
  
  
  Version Issues: Sometimes, the version of the APO system or the specific planning area may have bugs or issues that lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the /SAPAPO/PP_OPTIMIZER806 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all necessary master data (products, BOMs, routings) is complete and correctly maintained.
  Verify that the product is correctly defined in the system and that all relevant data is available.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the optimizer and the planning area. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that all necessary parameters are defined.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks on the master data and planning data to identify and correct any inconsistencies.
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MDP to check for data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Analyze Capacity Constraints:
  
  Review the capacity planning settings to ensure that there are no constraints that would prevent the decomposition from occurring.
  Adjust capacity settings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes and Patches:
  
  Look for SAP Notes or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, SAP releases updates that address specific issues in the optimizer.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for the optimizer and product decomposition to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. Provide them with detailed information about the error and the steps you have already taken.
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/OPTIMIZER for optimizer settings and /SAPAPO/MDP for master data checks.
  SAP Notes: Regularly check the SAP Support Portal for any notes related to the optimizer and product decomposition.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training sessions or documentation on SAP APO to better understand the product decomposition process and how to troubleshoot related issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
