• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP194 - Same source and destination location (&1) within transportation lane ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP194 indicates that there is an issue with the transportation lane configuration in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, the error states that the source and destination locations are the same within a transportation lane, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create or use a transportation lane where both the source and destination locations are identical. This situation is logically incorrect because a transportation lane is meant to define the movement of goods from one location to another, and having the same location for both ends does not make sense in the context of transportation planning.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transportation Lane Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/TP (or the relevant transaction for transportation lane maintenance).
  Review the transportation lanes that have been defined in the system.
  Identify the lane that is causing the error (the one with the same source and destination).
  
  
  
  Modify the Transportation Lane:
  
  If you find a transportation lane where the source and destination locations are the same, you need to either:
  
  Change the destination location to a different location that is valid for transportation.
  Delete the transportation lane if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Validate Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration and re-run the planning process to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  Test the planning run or the specific scenario that triggered the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.

  APO Planning Books: If you are using planning books, ensure that the transportation lanes are correctly integrated into your planning scenarios.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the /SAPAPO/SNP194 error and ensure that your transportation lanes are configured correctly.
