• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ352 - Planning run only possible in display mode ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ352 Planning run only possible in display mode typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a planning run is attempted, but the system is set to display mode only. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  Planning Area Configuration: The planning area may be configured to allow only display mode due to specific settings or restrictions.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform a planning run in change mode.
  System Settings: The system may be in a state (e.g., maintenance mode) that restricts planning runs to display mode.
  Locking Issues: Another user or process may have locked the planning area, preventing changes.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data that prevent the planning run from being executed in change mode.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Planning Area Settings: Verify the configuration of the planning area in the SAP APO system. Ensure that it is set up to allow planning runs in change mode.
  Review User Authorizations: Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to execute planning runs. This can be done through transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) and PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  System Status: Confirm that the system is not in maintenance mode or any other state that would restrict planning runs. Consult with your system administrator if necessary.
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the planning area. If another user or process is holding a lock, coordinate with them to release it.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data in the planning area is consistent and does not have integrity issues. You may need to run data consistency checks or consult with your data management team.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/SEQ for planning runs, SM12 for lock entries, and SU01 for user management.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Review the SAP APO documentation for best practices on planning area configuration and user management.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO support team for further investigation.
