• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUIA_MESS298 - No changes allowed for non-OEM location &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PUIA_MESS298 No changes allowed for non-OEM location &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you attempt to make changes to a location that is not designated as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) location. This restriction is in place to maintain data integrity and ensure that only specific locations can be modified.
  Cause:

  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict changes to specific types of locations based on business rules or settings defined in the system.
  Data Integrity: The system is designed to prevent changes to non-OEM locations to maintain the integrity of planning data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Location Type: Verify if the location you are trying to modify is indeed a non-OEM location. You can do this by checking the location settings in the SAP APO system.
  Change Location Classification: If appropriate, consider changing the classification of the location to OEM if it is necessary for your business process. This may require configuration changes in the system.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you believe that changes should be allowed for this location, consult with your SAP configuration team or system administrator to review the settings and determine if adjustments can be made.
  Use Alternative Locations: If the changes are not critical, consider using an alternative OEM location for your planning needs.
  
  Related Information:
