• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP598 - Time zone of source loc. &1 is different from that of transp. resource &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP598 indicates a mismatch in time zones between a source location and a transportation resource in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This can occur during planning or transportation scheduling when the system tries to process data that involves both the source location and the transportation resource, but they are set to different time zones.
  Cause:
  
  Different Time Zones: The source location (e.g., a plant or storage location) and the transportation resource (e.g., a truck or shipping route) are configured with different time zones in the system.
  Master Data Configuration: The master data for either the location or the transportation resource may not be correctly set up, leading to discrepancies in time zone settings.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, time zone settings may not have been properly aligned.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Time Zone Settings:
  
  Go to the master data of the source location and the transportation resource.
  Verify the time zone settings for both. You can find this in the location master data and the transportation resource master data.
  
  
  
  Align Time Zones:
  
  If the time zones are different, you will need to align them. This may involve changing the time zone of either the source location or the transportation resource to ensure they match.
  Ensure that the time zone settings are consistent with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  If changes are made, ensure that the master data is updated and saved properly.
  You may need to re-run the planning or scheduling process after making these changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to change time zone settings in your version of SAP APO.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test run to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/LOC for location master data and /SAPAPO/RES for transportation resource master data to access and modify the relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to master data in the system.
  
  By addressing the time zone mismatch, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your planning or transportation scheduling activities in SAP APO.
