• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP185 - Order in individual segment cannot be copied ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP185 Order in individual segment cannot be copied typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with copying orders from one segment to another in the planning book or when trying to transfer data between different planning areas or segments.
  Cause:
  
  
  Segment Mismatch: The order you are trying to copy may belong to a different segment than the one you are currently working in. Each segment in SAP APO can have its own set of characteristics and data, and copying between segments that are not compatible can lead to this error.
  
  
  Order Status: The order may be in a status that does not allow it to be copied. For example, if the order is already confirmed or has been processed in a way that prevents copying.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity of the order, such as missing or inconsistent data that prevents it from being copied.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the planning book or the planning area that restrict copying of orders between segments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Segment Compatibility: Ensure that the order you are trying to copy is in the same segment as the target segment. If they are different, you may need to adjust your approach or work within the same segment.
  
  
  Review Order Status: Check the status of the order you are trying to copy. If it is in a status that does not allow copying, you may need to change its status or create a new order instead.
  
  
  Data Validation: Validate the data of the order to ensure that all required fields are filled and that there are no inconsistencies. Correct any issues found.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings of the planning book and planning area to ensure that copying of orders is allowed. You may need to consult with your SAP APO administrator or configuration team.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If copying is not possible, consider using alternative methods to achieve your goal, such as creating a new order manually or using a different transaction.
