• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCMB_PSTRU115 - Planning object structure &1 must not reference a basis POS ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SCMB_PSTRU115 indicates that there is an issue with the planning object structure in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, the error states that the planning object structure you are trying to use references a basis planning object structure (POS) that is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Reference: The planning object structure you are trying to create or modify is referencing a basis POS that is not permitted. In APO, certain planning object structures are designed to be used as a basis for other structures, and they cannot be directly referenced in certain contexts.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the planning object structures or the way they are set up in the system.
  Hierarchy Issues: The structure may be incorrectly defined in terms of its hierarchy or relationships with other planning object structures.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Object Structure: Review the planning object structure you are working with. Ensure that it does not reference a basis POS directly. You may need to create a new planning object structure that does not have this reference.
  Modify Structure: If you have access to the configuration, modify the planning object structure to remove the reference to the basis POS. This may involve changing the way the structure is defined or the objects it includes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define planning object structures and the rules regarding their references.
  Use Transaction Code: Use transaction code /SAPAPO/SCMB_PSTRUCT to manage planning object structures. This transaction allows you to view and edit existing structures.
