• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_DEP003 - An attempt was made to read an ATD qty outside the time buck. prfl. (&1) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_DEP003 indicates that there was an attempt to read an Available-to-Deliver (ATD) quantity outside the defined time bucket profile in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs in the context of demand planning or supply network planning when the system is trying to access data that is not available within the specified time frame.
  Cause:
  
  Time Bucket Profile Configuration: The time bucket profile may not be set up correctly, or the time buckets may not cover the period for which the ATD quantity is being requested.
  Data Availability: The data for the requested time period may not exist, possibly due to missing or incomplete planning data.
  Planning Horizon: The planning horizon may be set too short, causing the system to look for data outside the available range.
  Incorrect Key Figures: The key figures being used may not be aligned with the time buckets defined in the planning area.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Time Bucket Profile: Review the time bucket profile settings in the APO system. Ensure that the time buckets are defined correctly and cover the necessary periods for your planning needs.
  Adjust Planning Horizon: If the planning horizon is too short, consider extending it to include the required time periods.
  Verify Data Availability: Ensure that the necessary data is available for the requested time period. This may involve checking the planning data and ensuring that it has been correctly uploaded or generated.
  Review Key Figures: Check the key figures being used in your planning area to ensure they are correctly configured and aligned with the time bucket profile.
  Run Planning Jobs: If data is missing, you may need to run planning jobs to generate the necessary data for the time buckets.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (to check the planning book) or /SAPAPO/SDP1 (to maintain the planning area) to investigate further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
