• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM191 - Function only possible for DP planning object structures ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM191 indicates that a function is being attempted on a planning object structure that is not compatible with the Demand Planning (DP) module in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when a user tries to execute a function that is specific to DP planning object structures on a non-DP structure.
