• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SOR204 - Version specified is not active ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SOR204 Version specified is not active typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a user attempts to access or manipulate a planning version that is not currently active. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during planning runs, data uploads, or when executing certain transactions.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Version:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/VER (or the relevant transaction for managing versions).
  Check the list of available versions and see if the specified version is listed as inactive.
  If it is inactive, select the version and activate it.
  
  
  
  Create a New Version:
  
  If the version is not available or has been deleted, you may need to create a new version.
  Use the same transaction (/SAPAPO/VER) to create a new planning version and ensure it is activated.
  
  
  
  Check Version Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the version you are trying to use is correctly assigned in the relevant planning books or data views.
  Verify that the version is set up correctly in the planning area.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and activate versions in SAP APO.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to version management in APO for any specific guidelines or updates.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/VER for version management and /SAPAPO/MC for planning book configuration.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to version management in APO.
  System Configuration: Ensure that the system configuration for planning areas and versions is correctly set up according to business requirements.
