  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RES_MSG029 indicates that a resource network is currently being utilized by one or more products in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module.

  Check for Active Processes:
  
  Verify if there are any active planning processes or jobs that are using the resource network. You may need to wait for these processes to complete or terminate them if they are not needed.
  
  
  
  Consult with Team:
  
  If you are unsure about removing assignments or terminating processes, consult with your planning team or system administrator to ensure that you do not disrupt ongoing planning activities.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
