• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPDS_COMMONS014 - No data selected relevant for heuristic planning ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPDS_COMMONS014 No data selected relevant for heuristic planning typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically when using the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module. This error indicates that the heuristic planning process could not find any relevant data to process.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Relevant Data: The most common cause is that there are no planned orders, production orders, or other relevant data available for the heuristic to process. This could be due to:
  
  No open orders in the planning horizon.
  Filters applied that exclude all relevant data.
  Incorrect planning parameters or settings.
  
  
  
  Planning Horizon Issues: The planning horizon may not be set correctly, leading to no data being available within the specified timeframe.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: Missing or incorrect master data (like resources, products, or production versions) can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Heuristic Configuration: The heuristic itself may not be configured correctly, or it may not be applicable to the data available.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined for the heuristic run may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being selected.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Availability: Ensure that there are planned orders or production orders available for the heuristic to process. You can check this in the relevant transaction codes (e.g., MD04 for stock/requirements list).
  
  
  Review Planning Horizon: Verify that the planning horizon is set correctly in the heuristic settings. Adjust the planning horizon if necessary.
  
  
  Examine Filters and Selection Criteria: Review any filters or selection criteria applied to the heuristic run. Make sure they are not excluding all relevant data.
  
  
  Validate Master Data: Check the master data for the products and resources involved in the planning process. Ensure that all necessary data is complete and accurate.
  
  
  Heuristic Configuration: Review the configuration of the heuristic being used. Ensure that it is appropriate for the data and that it is set up correctly.
  
  
  Run a Different Heuristic: If the current heuristic is not yielding results, consider running a different heuristic that may be more suitable for the available data.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/HEUR for heuristic planning, and MD04 for checking stock and requirements.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for PP/DS heuristics to understand the configuration and requirements better.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in APO/PPDS.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
