/SAPAPO/SEASONALITY032 - Details

• The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEASONALITY032 indicates that a characteristic value combination (CVC) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) has its own seasonality defined, but the system is not using the group seasonality for that CVC. This can occur in the context of demand planning when the system is trying to apply seasonal patterns to forecast data.
  
  Cause:
  
  CVC with Own Seasonality: The CVC has been assigned a specific seasonality profile, which means it has its own seasonal pattern defined in the system.
  Group Seasonality Not Applicable: The system is attempting to apply a group seasonality (a broader seasonal pattern that applies to multiple CVCs), but since the CVC already has its own defined seasonality, the group seasonality is not utilized.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the APO system that dictate how seasonality is applied, leading to this message if the settings are not aligned with the intended use of seasonality.
