• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM891 - Mast.plng.obj.struct. is used in plng area. Dependent objects are deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM891 typically indicates an issue related to the planning object structure in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error occurs when a master planning object structure is being used in a planning area, but dependent objects (like key figures, planning levels, or other related structures) have been deleted or are inconsistent.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Dependent Objects: The most common cause of this error is that dependent objects associated with the planning object structure have been deleted. This could happen due to manual deletions or as a result of data cleansing activities.
  Inconsistent Data: If there are inconsistencies in the planning area configuration, such as missing key figures or planning levels that are expected to be present, this error can occur.
  Configuration Changes: Changes made to the planning area or planning object structure without proper adjustments to dependent objects can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependent Objects: Review the planning object structure and ensure that all dependent objects (key figures, planning levels, etc.) are intact and correctly configured.
  Recreate Deleted Objects: If any dependent objects have been deleted, you may need to recreate them. This can involve re-adding key figures or planning levels that were removed.
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the planning area to identify any inconsistencies. This can often be done through transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TSM or /SAPAPO/MC62.
  Adjust Planning Object Structure: If the planning object structure is no longer needed or is incorrectly configured, consider adjusting or deleting it, ensuring that it does not affect other planning areas.
  Transport Requests: If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that all relevant transport requests have been moved to the production environment correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/TSM for managing planning object structures and /SAPAPO/MC62 for checking consistency.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on planning object structures and their dependencies.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message or provide patches and updates.
