  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RELEASE045 indicates that you are trying to create scheduling agreement releases in a planning version that is not active. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when working with planning versions in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Planning Version: The planning version you are trying to use is not active. In SAP APO, planning versions are used to manage different planning scenarios, and only active versions can be used for certain operations, including creating scheduling agreement releases.

  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Planning Version:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/VER (or use the relevant menu path).
  Check the status of the planning version you are trying to use.
  If it is inactive, activate it by selecting the version and choosing the "Activate" option.
  
  
  
  Check the Version Settings:
