• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ136 - No orders exist in horizon ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ136 No orders exist in horizon typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when trying to perform a planning operation, such as a heuristic run or a planning run, and there are no relevant orders available within the specified planning horizon.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Orders in the Planning Horizon: The most common cause of this error is that there are no production or purchase orders available within the defined planning horizon. This could be due to:
  
  Orders not being created yet.
  Orders being outside the defined planning horizon.
  Orders being deleted or not saved properly.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Planning Horizon Settings: The planning horizon might be set incorrectly in the planning book or in the configuration settings, leading to a situation where the system cannot find any relevant orders.
  
  
  Data Issues: There may be issues with master data or transaction data that prevent the system from recognizing existing orders.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Orders: Verify that there are indeed orders created in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant order types in the SAP system (e.g., production orders, purchase orders) to ensure they exist and are within the planning horizon.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Horizon: If the orders exist but are outside the defined planning horizon, consider adjusting the planning horizon settings in the planning book or in the configuration settings to include the relevant time frame.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Ensure that all necessary master data (like materials, resources, and production versions) is correctly set up and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the planning area and planning book to ensure they are set up correctly to include the necessary orders.
  
  
  Run a Consistency Check: Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TS to run consistency checks on the planning area to identify any potential issues.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/MC62 (to check planning books) and /SAPAPO/OM17 (to check the planning area).
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to this error message for any patches or updates that might address known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on planning horizons and order management in APO for best practices and configuration guidelines.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP APO for further assistance.
