  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC828 Not used
  
  1. Cause of the Error
  The error message WRF_APC828 Not used typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically within the APC (Advanced Planning and Control) module. This message indicates that a particular function, object, or configuration element that the system expects to be active or used is currently not assigned, not activated, or not maintained.
  More concretely, this error often arises when:
  
  A key figure, planning object, or characteristic is referenced in a planning sequence, formula, or integration scenario but is not properly assigned or activated in the system.
  A master data element or planning object is missing or not linked correctly.
  The system tries to access a configuration or object that is defined but marked as "not used" or inactive.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the WRF_APC828 Not used error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Object Causing the Error:
  
  Check the detailed error log or dump to find which object (key figure, characteristic, planning object, etc.) is causing the issue.
  Use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/OM17 (for key figures), /SAPAPO/MC90 (for planning books), or relevant customizing transactions to locate the object.
  
  
  
  Check Object Activation and Usage:
  
  Verify if the object is marked as "used" or "active" in the system.
  For key figures or characteristics, ensure they are assigned to the relevant planning area and are active.
  For planning objects, check if they are properly maintained in the master data.
  
  
  
  Maintain or Activate the Object:
  
  If the object is inactive or not assigned, activate or assign it as required.
  For example, in key figure maintenance, ensure the key figure is assigned to the planning area and is active.
  In planning sequences or formulas, ensure all referenced objects are valid and active.
  
  
  
  Check Integration and Customizing:
  
  If the error occurs during integration (e.g., CIF between ECC and APO), verify that the relevant objects are properly replicated and active.
  Check customizing settings in /SAPAPO/OM and related transactions.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After correcting the object status, re-execute the planning sequence, integration, or process that triggered the error.
