• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP01046 - Deadline is outside time series horizon: Order not confirmed ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP01046 Deadline is outside time series horizon: Order not confirmed typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when an order's deadline falls outside the defined planning horizon. This can prevent the system from confirming the order, as it cannot be scheduled within the available time frame.
  Cause:
  
  Time Series Horizon: The planning horizon in APO is defined by the time series settings. If the order's deadline is set beyond this horizon, the system will not be able to confirm it.
  Order Dates: The order may have been created with a deadline that is not aligned with the planning parameters set in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the planning area or the time series settings that define the planning horizon.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust the Planning Horizon:
  
  Review and, if necessary, extend the planning horizon in the APO system. This can be done in the configuration settings for the planning area.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP APO and adjust the time series horizon to include the order's deadline.
  
  
  
  Modify Order Dates:
  
  If extending the planning horizon is not feasible, consider adjusting the order's deadline to fall within the existing planning horizon.
  Check the order details and modify the required dates accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the planning area and time series settings are correctly configured to meet the business requirements.
  Consult with your SAP APO administrator or a functional consultant to verify that the settings align with your planning needs.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the master data (like product, location, etc.) is correctly set up and that there are no discrepancies that could affect the planning horizon.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC90 (for planning area settings) or /SAPAPO/OM17 (for order management) to review and adjust settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on configuring planning horizons and understanding APO settings.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in APO for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the planning horizon and ensuring that order deadlines are within the defined limits, you should be able to resolve the error and confirm the order successfully.
