• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RET_MESSAGES590 - Transport to other planning version not necessary ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RET_MESSAGES590 indicates that a transport to another planning version is not necessary. This message typically arises in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to transport data or changes from one planning version to another, but the system determines that no transport is needed.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Changes Detected: The most common reason for this message is that there are no changes in the source planning version that need to be transported to the target planning version. This could happen if the data in the source version is already consistent with the target version.
  
  
  Transport Configuration: The transport configuration might not be set up correctly, or the transport request might not include any relevant changes.
  
  
  Version Status: The planning version you are trying to transport from or to may be in a status that does not allow for transport operations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Changes: Verify if there are any actual changes in the source planning version that need to be transported. If there are no changes, then the message is expected and can be ignored.
  
  
  Review Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request includes the necessary changes. If it does not, you may need to create a new transport request that captures the changes you want to move.
  
  
  Version Status: Check the status of both the source and target planning versions. Make sure they are both active and not locked or in a status that prevents transport.
  
  
  Manual Transport: If you believe there are changes that should be transported but the system does not recognize them, you may need to manually copy the data or settings from one version to another.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to transport processes in APO for any specific guidelines or updates that may affect your situation.
