• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUIA_MESS048 - Detailed smoothing parameter setting is only possible in change mode ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUIA_MESS048 indicates that detailed smoothing parameter settings can only be adjusted when the system is in change mode. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when users attempt to modify certain settings related to smoothing parameters in the planning book or data view.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system is currently in display mode, which restricts users from making changes to certain configuration settings. The detailed smoothing parameters are considered critical for planning and require explicit permission to modify, which is only granted in change mode.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to switch the system to change mode. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Switch to Change Mode:
  
  If you are in a planning book or data view, look for an option to switch to change mode. This is often found in the menu under "Edit" or "View" options.
  In some cases, you may need to use a specific transaction code or button to enter change mode.
  
  
  
  Modify the Smoothing Parameters:
  
  Once in change mode, navigate to the section where you can adjust the smoothing parameters.
  Make the necessary changes to the parameters as required.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the adjustments, ensure you save your changes to apply them.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to switch to change mode and modify the settings. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your system administrator.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP APO documentation for detailed information on smoothing parameters and their impact on planning processes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO that may help you navigate to the appropriate settings more efficiently.
  Testing Changes: After making changes, it is advisable to test the impact of the new smoothing parameters in a controlled environment before applying them to production.
