• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/VM001 - No orders exist for planning version & ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/VM001 No orders exist for planning version & typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to execute a planning function or transaction that requires existing orders in a specific planning version, but no orders are found.
  Cause:
  
  No Orders in the Planning Version: The most common cause is that there are simply no orders created in the specified planning version. This could be due to a lack of data entry or a misconfiguration in the planning version settings.
  Incorrect Planning Version: The planning version you are trying to access may not be the one where the orders are created. It could be that you are referencing the wrong version.
  Data Not Transferred: If you are using a system that integrates with other systems (like SAP ERP), there may be issues with data transfer, meaning that orders have not been transferred to the APO system.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the planning function may be too restrictive, leading to no orders being found.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Planning Version: Verify that you are using the correct planning version. You can do this by checking the settings in the transaction or function you are using.
  Create Orders: If there are no orders in the planning version, you may need to create them. This can be done through the relevant transaction in SAP ERP or APO.
  Data Transfer: Ensure that the data transfer from the ERP system to the APO system is functioning correctly. You may need to check the integration settings and logs for any errors.
  Review Selection Criteria: If applicable, review and adjust the selection criteria in your planning function to ensure that it is not too restrictive.
  Check for Errors: Look for any error messages or logs that might indicate issues with data processing or transfer.
