• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_HEUR602 - Orders outside the PP/DS horizon are not created ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_HEUR602 indicates that orders cannot be created because they fall outside the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) horizon. This error typically arises in the context of planning and scheduling within the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module.
  Cause:
  
  Horizon Settings: The PP/DS horizon is defined in the system settings, and it specifies the time frame within which planning and scheduling can occur. If an order is scheduled to be created outside this defined horizon, the system will not allow it.
  Order Dates: The dates associated with the orders (e.g., start date, end date) may be outside the defined planning horizon.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the planning settings or master data that lead to the orders being scheduled incorrectly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust the PP/DS Horizon:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the PP/DS horizon in the SAP system.
  Increase the planning horizon to include the dates of the orders that are being created.
  This can typically be done in the transaction code /SAPAPO/PPDS_HORIZON or through the relevant customizing settings in the SAP IMG.
  
  
  
  Check Order Dates:
  
  Review the order dates to ensure they are within the defined PP/DS horizon.
  If necessary, adjust the order dates to fall within the planning horizon.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the master data (e.g., production resources/tools, work centers) is correctly configured and that the relevant settings align with the planning horizon.
  
  
  
  Run Planning Runs:
  
  After making adjustments, run the planning runs again to see if the orders can now be created.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on configuring the PP/DS horizon and understanding the implications of the settings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
