• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_DEP019 - Purchase orders transferred to OLTP - cannot be prioritized ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_DEP019 indicates that purchase orders have been transferred to the OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) system and cannot be prioritized in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. This typically occurs in the context of supply chain management, where APO is used for planning and OLTP is used for execution.
  Cause:
  
  Transfer to OLTP: The primary cause of this error is that the purchase orders have already been transferred to the OLTP system. Once this transfer occurs, the orders are considered finalized and cannot be modified or prioritized in APO.
  Status of Purchase Orders: The purchase orders may have a status that does not allow for prioritization. For example, if they are already confirmed or in a state that indicates they are being processed, they cannot be changed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the APO or OLTP systems that prevent prioritization of orders that have been transferred.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Status: Verify the status of the purchase orders in the OLTP system. If they are confirmed or in a processing state, you will need to manage them directly in the OLTP system rather than APO.
  Re-evaluate Planning Process: If prioritization is necessary, consider adjusting your planning process to ensure that orders are prioritized before they are transferred to OLTP.
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings in both the APO and OLTP systems to ensure that they align with your business processes. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or configuration team.
  Manual Intervention: If prioritization is critical, you may need to manually intervene in the OLTP system to adjust the orders or their processing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for both APO and OLTP systems to understand the workflow and limitations regarding order management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling purchase orders in APO.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is impacting your business operations.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Planning Before Transfer: Ensure that all necessary planning and prioritization is completed in APO before transferring purchase orders to OLTP.
  Regular Monitoring: Regularly monitor the status of purchase orders and their transfer to ensure that any issues are identified and addressed promptly.
  Training: Provide training for users on the implications of transferring orders to OLTP and the importance of prioritization in the planning phase.
  
  By understanding the cause and implementing the suggested solutions, you can effectively manage the error and improve your order processing workflow in SAP.
