  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP703 indicates that there are requirements for a product that fall outside the defined production horizon for a specific location and version. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, where planning horizons are set to manage production and inventory effectively.
  Cause:
  
  Production Horizon Settings: The production horizon is defined in the system and specifies the time frame within which production planning can be performed. If a requirement (like a sales order or forecast) is scheduled for a date that is beyond this horizon, the system will generate this error.
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the product or location may not be set correctly, leading to requirements being generated outside the expected time frame.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be incorrect data entries in the sales orders, forecasts, or other demand sources that lead to requirements being created for dates outside the production horizon.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust Production Horizon: Review and, if necessary, extend the production horizon for the product and location in the APO system. This can be done in the configuration settings for the product or location.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP APO and adjust the production horizon parameters.
  
  
  
  Review Requirements: Check the requirements that are causing the error. If they are indeed valid but just outside the horizon, consider whether they need to be adjusted or if the horizon should be extended.
  
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/RRP3 to analyze the requirements and their dates.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entries: Ensure that all data entries related to sales orders, forecasts, and other demand sources are accurate and within the expected time frame.
  
  Validate the dates and quantities in the relevant documents.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing production horizons and requirements in APO.
