• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUIA_MESS223 - Only use scheduling agreements and contracts as source of supply ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUIA_MESS223 indicates that the system is configured to only allow scheduling agreements and contracts as sources of supply for certain planning processes in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when a user attempts to use a different type of source of supply, such as a purchase order or a stock transfer order, which is not permitted in the current configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The system is set up to restrict the sources of supply to only scheduling agreements and contracts. This is often a business requirement to ensure that procurement is managed through specific agreements.
  Master Data Issues: The material master or the source list may not be correctly configured to include the necessary scheduling agreements or contracts.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy being used may require specific types of supply sources, leading to this restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Source of Supply: Ensure that the source of supply you are trying to use is indeed a scheduling agreement or contract. If not, you will need to create or modify the necessary agreements.
  Review Configuration: If you believe that other sources of supply should be allowed, review the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve:
  
  Checking the settings in the APO system for the relevant planning area.
  Reviewing the configuration of the source list and ensuring that it includes the appropriate scheduling agreements and contracts.
  
  
  Adjust Master Data: If the material master or source list is not set up correctly, update it to include the necessary scheduling agreements or contracts.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines to understand the specific requirements for the planning process you are working with.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like ME33K (Display Contract), ME33L (Display Scheduling Agreement), or MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to check the relevant agreements.
  APO Configuration: Review the configuration in the APO system, particularly in the areas related to supply chain management and procurement.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and manage scheduling agreements and contracts.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP APO for further assistance.
