• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP733 - Delta mode with horizon in the past is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP733 Delta mode with horizon in the past is not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to run a delta planning run with a time horizon that includes dates in the past. This is not allowed because delta planning is designed to only consider future data for planning purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Time Horizon Setting: The time horizon defined for the planning run includes dates that are in the past. Delta planning is intended to update only future planning data based on changes since the last planning run.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the planning run may not be set correctly, leading to the inclusion of past dates.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust the Time Horizon: 
  
  Review the settings for the planning run and ensure that the time horizon starts from the current date or a future date. 
  You can do this by navigating to the planning run settings in the SAP APO system and modifying the start date of the planning horizon.
  
  
  
  Use Full Planning Run: 
  
  If you need to include past data for some reason, consider using a full planning run instead of a delta run. A full planning run does not have the same restrictions regarding the time horizon.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Version: 
  
  Ensure that the planning version you are using is correctly set up and does not inadvertently include past data.
  
  
  
  Review Job Scheduling: 
  
  If this error occurs during a scheduled job, check the job scheduling settings to ensure that the job is not set to run with an outdated time horizon.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Review the SAP APO documentation for details on planning runs, delta planning, and time horizon settings.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to planning runs in SAP APO, such as /SAPAPO/MC90 for planning run settings.
  
  By ensuring that the time horizon is set correctly and that you are using the appropriate type of planning run, you should be able to resolve this error.
