Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP835 - Transp. zone &1 contains locations of type 'Customer' and other loc.types ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNP835 indicates that there is an issue with the transportation zone in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. Specifically, it states that the transportation zone contains locations of type 'Customer' along with other location types, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the transportation zone is expected to contain only certain types of locations, typically those that are relevant for transportation planning, such as plants, distribution centers, or suppliers. When a transportation zone includes customer locations (which are typically not involved in transportation planning), it leads to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Transportation Zone Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the transportation zone in the SAP system.
  Check the locations assigned to the transportation zone and identify any customer locations that should not be included.
  
  
  
  Modify Transportation Zone:
  
  If customer locations are included in the transportation zone, you will need to remove them. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/TSO for transportation zones).
  Editing the transportation zone to exclude customer locations.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create Separate Transportation Zones:
  
  If necessary, consider creating separate transportation zones for customer locations and other types of locations. This will help maintain clarity and avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the master data for locations is correctly defined. Verify that the location types are appropriately assigned and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transportation planning process to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
