  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TDL_DAO031 ATP time series buckets are smaller than one day typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with Available-to-Promise (ATP) checks and time series data. This error indicates that the time buckets defined for the ATP check are smaller than one day, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Time Bucket Configuration: The error is primarily caused by the configuration of the time buckets in the APO system. If the time buckets for the ATP check are set to a duration that is less than one day (e.g., hours or minutes), the system will throw this error.

  Adjust Time Bucket Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the time series in the APO system.

  Review Master Data:
