• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message U9117 - Work center/resource &1 plant &2: Resource is not APO-relevant ?

  The SAP error message U9117 indicates that a specific work center or resource in a given plant is not relevant for Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This can occur in scenarios where the system is trying to use a resource that has not been properly configured for APO.
  Cause:
  
  Resource Configuration: The work center/resource may not be marked as APO-relevant in the configuration settings. This can happen if the resource was created or modified without the necessary settings for APO integration.
  Master Data Issues: The resource might not have been included in the APO master data setup, or it may not have been activated for use in APO.
  Plant Settings: The plant itself may not be configured to use APO, or the specific resource may not be assigned to the correct planning area.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Resource Settings:
  
  Go to the work center/resource configuration in SAP (Transaction code: CR01/CR02 for work centers).
  Ensure that the "APO Relevant" checkbox is selected for the resource.
  If it is not selected, update the settings and save the changes.
  
  
  
  Verify APO Integration:
  
  Check if the resource is included in the APO master data. You can do this by using the transaction code /SAPAPO/MC90 to check the resource in the APO system.
  If the resource is not present, you may need to replicate the resource from the R/3 system to the APO system using transaction code /SAPAPO/RC1.
  
  
  
  Check Plant Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the plant is set up correctly for APO. This includes checking the settings in the APO system to confirm that the plant is active and that the necessary planning areas are configured.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Resource:
  
  If the resource was previously relevant and has become inactive, you may need to reactivate it in the APO system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to APO and work center/resource configuration for any additional steps or considerations.
