• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP836 - Package &1 had no data to be posted ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP836 Package &1 had no data to be posted typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a data package that is supposed to be processed does not contain any data. This can happen during various processes, such as data extraction, data transfer, or during the execution of planning functions.
  Causes:
  
  Empty Data Package: The most straightforward cause is that the data package being processed is indeed empty, meaning there are no records to be posted.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to generate the data package may be too restrictive, resulting in no data being selected.
  Data Extraction Issues: There may be issues with the data extraction process, leading to no data being available for posting.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the APO system or in the data transfer process can lead to empty packages.
  Timing Issues: If the data is being processed in a batch job, it may be that the data has not yet been populated in the system when the job runs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Source: Verify the source of the data to ensure that there is data available to be posted. This may involve checking the relevant tables or data sources.
  Review Selection Criteria: Examine the selection criteria used for the data package to ensure they are not too restrictive. Adjust them if necessary to include the required data.
  Run Data Extraction Again: If the data extraction process is suspected to be the issue, try running it again to see if it populates the data correctly.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure they are set up correctly for the data transfer or posting process.
  Monitor Batch Jobs: If the error occurs in a batch job, monitor the job execution to ensure that it is running at the correct time and that the data is available when it runs.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs or system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about why the data package is empty.
