  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_DEP024 Key Figure &1 does not exist 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 the system is trying to reference a key figure that has not been defined or does not exist in the planning area or data model you are working with.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Figure: The key figure specified in the error message is not defined in the planning area or the data model.
  Incorrect Configuration: The planning area may not be correctly configured to include the key figure.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the key figure name when it is being referenced in a planning function, macro, or report.
  Transport Issues: If the key figure was recently created or modified, it may not have been transported correctly to the system you are working in.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/SDP1 (for Demand Planning) or /SAPAPO/SNP1 (for Supply Network Planning).
  Check the key figures defined in the relevant planning area. Ensure that the key figure mentioned in the error message exists.
  
  
  
  Correct Configuration:
  
  If the key figure does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done in the planning area configuration.
  If it exists but is not included in the planning area, you may need to add it.
  
  
  
  Review References:
  
  Check any macros, planning functions, or reports that reference the key figure. Ensure that the name is spelled correctly and matches the defined key figure.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the key figure was recently created or modified, ensure that the transport request containing the changes has been successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific key figure and its intended use within your planning processes.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/SDP1 for Demand Planning and /SAPAPO/SNP1 for Supply Network Planning to manage key figures and planning areas.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO functional team for further investigation.
