• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP101 - No constraint can be set for selected key figure ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP101 No constraint can be set for selected key figure typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly when working with the Supply Network Planning (SNP) or Demand Planning (DP) modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with setting constraints for a specific key figure in your planning book or data view.
  Causes:
  
  Key Figure Configuration: The key figure you are trying to set constraints for may not be configured to allow constraints. Some key figures are defined as "non-constrained" in the system.
  Planning Book Settings: The planning book or data view may not be set up correctly to allow constraints for the selected key figure.
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the key figure may not support constraints. For example, if the key figure is defined as a "character" type, constraints cannot be applied.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing you from setting constraints on the key figure.
  Incorrect Key Figure Selection: You may have selected a key figure that is not intended for constraint setting.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Key Figure Settings: Go to the key figure configuration in the planning book and ensure that the key figure is set up to allow constraints. This can be done in the key figure settings in the SAP APO system.
  Review Planning Book Configuration: Ensure that the planning book is correctly configured to allow constraints for the key figures you are working with. You may need to adjust the settings in the planning book.
  Data Type Verification: Verify the data type of the key figure. If it is not suitable for constraints, consider using a different key figure that supports constraints.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to set constraints on the key figures. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Select Appropriate Key Figure: Make sure you are selecting the correct key figure that is intended for constraint setting. Review the documentation or consult with your SAP APO consultant if needed.
