• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT169 - Production process model/PDS &1: Execution ends outside of validity per. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SNPOPT169 indicates that there is an issue with the Production Data Structure (PDS) in the context of the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, the error states that the execution of a production process model (PPM) is occurring outside of its defined validity period.
  Cause:
  
  
  Validity Period Issue: The PDS has a defined validity period, and the execution date or time falls outside this range. This can happen if:
  
  The PDS is not valid for the date on which the production is being planned or executed.
  The PDS has been changed or deleted, and the new version is not valid for the planned execution date.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters or settings may not align with the validity of the PDS.
  
  
  Master Data Changes: Changes in master data (like changes to the material, production process, or resources) that affect the PDS may not have been updated correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Period:
  
  Go to the PDS in the APO system and check the validity dates. Ensure that the execution date falls within this range.
  If the PDS is not valid for the required date, you may need to extend the validity period or create a new PDS that covers the required dates.
  
  
  
  Update PDS:
  
  If the PDS has been changed or is outdated, update it to reflect the current production processes and ensure it is valid for the required execution dates.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters:
  
  Check the planning parameters and ensure they are set correctly to align with the PDS validity.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust PDS:
  
  If necessary, recreate the PDS or adjust the existing one to ensure it meets the requirements for the planned production.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to PDS and validity periods for any additional insights or updates.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/PDS to view and manage PDS in the APO system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to PDS and validity periods.
  APO Configuration: Ensure that the APO configuration is set up correctly to handle PDS and production planning.
