• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP771 - No open period package creation run exists ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP771 No open period package creation run exists typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to execute a planning function or a report that requires an open period for package creation, but no such open period exists.
  Cause:
  
  No Open Period: The primary cause of this error is that there is no open planning period defined in the system for the relevant planning area. This means that the system cannot find a valid time frame to execute the requested operation.
  Incorrect Configuration: The planning area may not be properly configured to allow for open periods, or the periods may have been closed inadvertently.
  Data Locking: Sometimes, data locking issues can prevent the creation of new periods or the execution of planning functions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Open Periods:
  
  Navigate to the relevant planning area in SAP APO.
  Check the settings for open periods to ensure that there is at least one open period available for the planning function you are trying to execute.
  You can do this by going to the transaction code /SAPAPO/MC62 (for planning book) or /SAPAPO/MC67 (for planning area) and reviewing the open periods.
  
  
  
  Create Open Period:
  
  If no open periods exist, you may need to create a new open period. This can typically be done through the transaction /SAPAPO/MC62 or /SAPAPO/MC67 by selecting the appropriate planning area and defining the new period.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the planning area is correctly configured to allow for open periods. This may involve checking the settings in the planning area configuration.
  
  
  
  Data Locking:
  
  If data locking is suspected, check for any active locks that may be preventing the creation of new periods. You can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific planning area and functions you are using to ensure that all prerequisites are met.
