/SAPAPO/SDP_UPLOAD014 - Details

• The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SDP_UPLOAD014 indicates that the contents of a cell from a file are not transferred because the cell is read-only. This typically occurs during the upload process in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to import data from an external file into the system.
