• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_HEUR060 - No standard heuristic maintained for "Plan Product" ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_HEUR060 No standard heuristic maintained for "Plan Product" typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to run a planning heuristic for a product that does not have a standard heuristic defined. This can happen in the context of production planning, demand planning, or any other planning-related activities in SAP APO.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Heuristic Definition: The primary cause of this error is that the product in question does not have a standard heuristic assigned to it. Heuristics are algorithms used in SAP APO to perform planning tasks, and if none is defined for a specific product, the system cannot execute the planning run.
  
  
  Incorrect Product Configuration: The product may not be properly configured in the system, leading to the absence of a heuristic.
  
  
  Planning Area Issues: The planning area associated with the product may not have the necessary heuristics defined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign a Standard Heuristic:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/HEUR to access the heuristic maintenance screen.
  Check if a standard heuristic is defined for the product's planning area.
  If not, you can create or assign a suitable heuristic for the product.
  
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the product master data is correctly maintained. This includes checking the product's planning parameters and ensuring that it is assigned to the correct planning area.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Area Settings:
  
  Navigate to the planning area settings and verify that the heuristics are correctly defined for the planning area that the product belongs to.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Heuristics:
  
  If a standard heuristic is not available, consider using alternative heuristics that may be applicable to the product.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on defining and assigning heuristics.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Heuristic Types: Familiarize yourself with different types of heuristics available in SAP APO, such as the standard heuristics for production planning, distribution planning, etc.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to heuristics and planning in SAP APO include:
  
  /SAPAPO/HEUR - Heuristic Maintenance
  /SAPAPO/RRP3 - Interactive Planning
  /SAPAPO/SDP94 - Demand Planning
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to heuristics in your version of SAP APO.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully run your planning heuristics in SAP APO.
