• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP102 - With durations > 0 , the start date has to be entered too ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP102 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to create or modify a planning object (like a production order, planned order, or a similar entity) that has a duration greater than zero. The error indicates that if you have specified a duration for the activity, you must also provide a start date.

  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the required fields or the context in which you are working, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific planning function you are using.
