  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RELEASE014 indicates that a user is not authorized to display the active planning version in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises due to insufficient authorizations assigned to the user profile.

  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the active planning version.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that include the necessary permissions for APO planning versions.
  Planning Version Settings: The planning version may have specific settings that restrict access based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
