• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM261 - Info object does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM261 Info object does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is unable to find a specific InfoObject that is being referenced in a planning function, data view, or other configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoObject: The InfoObject that is being referenced in the planning function or query does not exist in the system. This could be due to it not being created, being deleted, or being incorrectly referenced.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the planning function or data view may be incorrect, leading to a reference to a non-existent InfoObject.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the InfoObject, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Existence:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check if the InfoObject exists in the system.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the planning function or data view that is generating the error. Ensure that all referenced InfoObjects are correctly defined and exist in the system.
  If you find any incorrect references, update the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the InfoObject was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure that it was successfully transported.
  If it was not transported, you may need to re-transport it or create it manually in the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoObject. You may need to consult with your security team to verify and adjust authorizations if necessary.
  
  
  
  System Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks in the system to ensure that all objects are correctly defined and that there are no inconsistencies in the data model.
