• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC820 - Necessary rollouts for distribution are not defined in Customizing ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_APC820: Necessary rollouts for distribution are not defined in Customizing
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically within the Demand Planning (DP) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) modules when working with planning books or data distribution.
  
  The system expects certain rollouts (distribution rules or configurations) to be defined in the customizing settings.
  These rollouts specify how data is distributed or transferred between different planning objects or planning areas.
  If these rollouts are missing or not properly maintained in the customizing, the system cannot perform the required data distribution, triggering this error.
  
  In other words, the system is trying to execute a distribution process (e.g., transferring planning data from one planning area to another), but the necessary configuration for this distribution (rollouts) is not found.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Customizing for Rollouts:
  
  Go to the SAP APO customizing transaction:
  
  SPRO ? Advanced Planning and Optimization ? Demand Planning ? Planning Book ? Define Rollouts for Distribution
  Or for SNP: SPRO ? Advanced Planning and Optimization ? Supply Network Planning ? Planning Book ? Define Rollouts for Distribution
  
  
  Verify that the required rollouts are defined for the planning objects involved.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Rollouts:
  
  If rollouts are missing, create them according to your business requirements.
  Rollouts define how data is distributed between planning objects, e.g., from one product/location combination to another.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Book Settings:
  
  Ensure that the planning book you are using references the correct rollout.
  Sometimes, the planning book or planning area settings might be pointing to a rollout that does not exist.
  
  
  
  Transport and Consistency:
  
  If you recently transported customizing settings, verify that the rollouts were included and correctly imported.
  Check for inconsistencies in customizing between systems (DEV, QA, PROD).
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address issues related to rollout definitions or bugs in certain SAP versions.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Rollouts in APO are used to control the distribution of planning data between different planning objects or planning areas.
  Proper configuration of rollouts is essential for smooth data transfer and integration between different parts of the planning process.
  This error is common when setting up new planning books or when customizing changes have been made but not fully completed.
  Always ensure that the customizing settings are consistent and complete before executing distribution or planning runs.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
