• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TS002 - Chosen DataSource assigned to another planning object structure ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TS002 indicates that the chosen DataSource is already assigned to another planning object structure in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This can occur when you are trying to assign a DataSource to a planning object structure that is already linked to a different structure.
  Cause:
  
  DataSource Assignment Conflict: The DataSource you are trying to assign is already linked to another planning object structure, which prevents it from being assigned to the current one.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that lead to this conflict.
  Incorrect Planning Object Structure: You might be trying to use a DataSource that is not compatible with the planning object structure you are working with.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/TS (or the relevant transaction for managing DataSources) and check the existing assignments of the DataSource.
  Identify which planning object structure the DataSource is currently assigned to.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Remove:
  
  If the DataSource needs to be used with the current planning object structure, you may need to remove it from the other structure first. This can be done in the same transaction where you checked the assignments.
  Alternatively, if the DataSource is required for both structures, consider creating a new DataSource that can be assigned to the desired planning object structure.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation for the specific DataSource and planning object structures to ensure compatibility and correct usage.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
  
  If there are custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system, ensure that they are not causing conflicts with the DataSource assignments.
