• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM138 - No planning objects created ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM138 No planning objects created typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when a planning run does not generate any planning objects. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined for the planning run may not match any existing planning objects. This could be due to incorrect filters or parameters set in the planning run.
  
  
  Data Availability: There may be insufficient or missing data in the master data or transaction data that is required for the planning process. For example, if there are no relevant forecast data or stock levels, the planning run may not create any objects.
  
  
  Planning Area Configuration: The planning area may not be correctly configured, or the key figures may not be set up properly. If the planning area does not have the necessary key figures or characteristics, it may lead to no planning objects being created.
  
  
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not have any active data or may not be set up correctly.
  
  
  Locking Issues: There may be locking issues in the system that prevent the creation of planning objects.
  
  
  Error in the Planning Process: There could be an error in the planning process itself, such as a failure in the planning heuristics or algorithms.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used in the planning run. Ensure that they are set correctly and that they correspond to existing planning objects.
  
  
  Verify Data Availability: Check the master data and transaction data to ensure that all necessary data is available. This includes checking for relevant forecasts, stock levels, and other key figures.
  
  
  Review Planning Area Configuration: Ensure that the planning area is correctly configured. Check the key figures and characteristics to make sure they are set up properly.
  
  
  Check Planning Version: Verify that the planning version being used has active data. If necessary, switch to a different version that has the required data.
  
  
  Investigate Locking Issues: Check for any locking issues in the system that may be preventing the creation of planning objects. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks.
  
  
  Analyze Planning Process: If there are errors in the planning process, review the logs and messages generated during the planning run. This can provide insights into what went wrong.
  
  
  Run a Test Planning Run: If possible, run a test planning run with simplified criteria to see if any planning objects are created. This can help isolate the issue.
