  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ036 indicates that the planning basis for a specific algorithm is not maintained in the model mix you are working with in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when you are trying to execute a planning run or a similar operation that requires a defined planning basis for the algorithm specified.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Planning Basis: The planning basis for the specified algorithm is not defined in the model mix. This can happen if the model mix was not properly configured or if the necessary settings were not maintained.
  Incorrect Model Mix: The model mix you are using may not be appropriate for the algorithm you are trying to execute.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the APO system, particularly in the areas related to the planning area or the algorithms.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Model Mix Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/MIX to check the configuration of the model mix.
  Ensure that the planning basis for the specified algorithm is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Planning Basis:
  
  If the planning basis is missing, you will need to maintain it. This can typically be done in the configuration settings for the model mix.
  Navigate to the relevant settings in the SAP APO configuration and ensure that the planning basis for the algorithm is defined.
  
  
  
  Review Algorithm Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the algorithm you are trying to use. Ensure that it is compatible with the model mix and that all necessary parameters are set.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific algorithm and model mix you are using. This can provide insights into what needs to be configured.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error is resolved and that the planning process can proceed without issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/MIX for model mix maintenance and /SAPAPO/MC62 for checking planning area settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide additional insights or patches that could resolve the issue.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP APO expert for further assistance.
