  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP01164 indicates that the desired start time for a process or activity does not exist in the specified time series during interactive rescheduling in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the requested time slot for scheduling due to various reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Time Series Configuration: The time series may not be properly configured or may not include the desired time period.
  Data Gaps: There may be gaps in the time series data, meaning that the requested time does not have any available capacity or resources.
  Planning Horizon: The planning horizon may not cover the desired start time, leading to the unavailability of that time slot.
  Resource Availability: The resources required for the activity may not be available at the requested time.
  Incorrect Time Format: The time format used in the request may not match the expected format in the system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Time Series Configuration:
  
  Verify that the time series is correctly set up and includes the desired time period. You can do this by checking the configuration in the APO system.

  Ensure that the planning horizon is set appropriately to include the desired start time. Adjust the planning horizon if necessary.
  
  
  
  Examine Resource Availability:

  Adjust Time Slots:
  
  If the desired start time is not available, consider adjusting the time slots or selecting a different time that is available in the time series.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the data in the time series is consistent and complete. If there are missing entries, you may need to update the time series data.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Scheduling Options:
  
  If the interactive rescheduling does not yield results, consider using other scheduling methods or tools within SAP APO that may provide more flexibility.
