• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP_OM163 - Start time maximum does not exist in time series (interact. rescheduling) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RSP_OM163 Start time maximum does not exist in time series (interact. rescheduling) typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with interactive rescheduling of orders or activities. This error indicates that the system cannot find a valid start time for the operation or order in the specified time series.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Time Series Data: The time series data for the relevant planning object (like a product or resource) may not be available or may not cover the required time frame.
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or settings may not be correctly defined, leading to a situation where the system cannot determine a valid start time.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or transaction data that prevent the system from finding a valid time series.
  Resource Availability: The resource required for the operation may not be available during the requested time frame, leading to the absence of a valid start time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Time Series Data: Ensure that the time series data for the relevant planning object is correctly maintained and covers the required time frame. You can do this by checking the time series in the planning book or using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TS to view time series data.
  Review Planning Parameters: Verify the planning parameters and settings in the APO system to ensure they are correctly configured. This includes checking the planning version, planning horizon, and other relevant settings.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the master data and transaction data to identify any discrepancies. Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MASTER_DATA to check for issues.
  Resource Availability Check: Ensure that the resources required for the operation are available during the requested time frame. You can check resource availability in the resource planning view.
  Adjust Planning Horizon: If the planning horizon is too narrow, consider extending it to include the required time frame for the operation.
  Re-run Planning: If changes are made to the data or settings, re-run the planning process to ensure that the system recalculates the time series and availability.
