• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP240 - Function only possible at detail level ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP240 Function only possible at detail level 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 a certain function or operation is being attempted at a level of detail that is not supported by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Level of Detail: The function you are trying to execute requires data to be at a more detailed level (e.g., product-location level) than what is currently being processed (e.g., aggregated level).
  Planning Object Structure: The planning object structure you are using may not support the operation at the current level of aggregation.
  Data Selection: The selection criteria used in the transaction may be set to a higher level of aggregation, which does not allow for the detailed function to be executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Change the Level of Detail: Ensure that you are working at the appropriate level of detail. If you are trying to execute a function that requires detailed data, switch to the detail level in your planning view or transaction.
  Check Planning Object Structure: Review the planning object structure to ensure that it is set up correctly and supports the operations you are trying to perform.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Modify your selection criteria to include more detailed data. For example, if you are currently selecting at a product group level, try selecting at the individual product level.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code that allows for detailed operations. Some transactions are designed specifically for aggregated data, while others are for detailed data.
