• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RET_MESSAGES800 - It is not possible to transfer to the same planning version &1 &2 &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RET_MESSAGES800 indicates that there is an issue with transferring data to the same planning version in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to transfer data (like a forecast or a planning result) to the same version from which it is being transferred, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Same Planning Version: The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to transfer data to the same planning version that is currently being used. SAP APO does not allow this to prevent data inconsistencies and ensure data integrity.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the planning area or version settings that are not allowing the transfer.
  User Error: The user may have inadvertently selected the same version for both the source and target in the transfer process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Target Version: Ensure that the target planning version is different from the source version. You need to select a different version for the transfer.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the planning area and versions to ensure they are set up correctly. Make sure that the versions are defined properly and that the transfer rules allow for the intended operations.
  Review Transfer Process: If you are using a specific transaction or program to perform the transfer, double-check the parameters being passed to ensure that the correct versions are being used.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on transferring data between planning versions in APO.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO, such as /SAPAPO/SDP94 for planning and /SAPAPO/MC90 for version management.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transfer between planning versions.
  Testing: If possible, test the transfer in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that the issue can be replicated and resolved without impacting production data.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO support team for further investigation.
