• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP086 - No propagation range (or an invalid one) has been assigned to user &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP086 indicates that there is an issue with the propagation range assigned to a user in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a planning function or transaction that requires a valid propagation range, but none has been assigned or the assigned range is invalid.
  Cause:
  
  No Propagation Range Assigned: The user does not have a propagation range defined in their user profile.
  Invalid Propagation Range: The assigned propagation range is not valid, possibly due to changes in the planning area or master data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the propagation range.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that prevent the propagation range from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign a Valid Propagation Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/PROPR (or the relevant transaction for user settings).
  Check the user profile for the user indicated in the error message.
  Ensure that a valid propagation range is assigned. If not, assign a valid one.
  
  
  
  Check the Validity of the Propagation Range:
  
  Verify that the propagation range assigned is still valid and corresponds to the current planning area and master data.
  If necessary, create a new propagation range that meets the requirements.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the propagation range.
  Check the authorization roles assigned to the user and make adjustments if needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or APO configuration team to review the system settings and ensure that everything is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in, then test the functionality again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/PROPR for user settings and /SAPAPO/RRP for planning-related transactions.
