• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_APC832 - Two rollouts exist with the same starting date &1 ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_APC832 – "Two rollouts exist with the same starting date &1"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) modules, when the system detects two or more rollouts (planning versions or planning objects) that have the same start date. 
  In APO, a rollout typically refers to a planning version or a planning object version that is valid from a certain start date. Having multiple rollouts with identical start dates causes ambiguity in the system because it cannot determine which rollout to use for planning or execution.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Rollouts are used to manage different versions of planning data over time.
  Each rollout must have a unique start date to clearly define the validity period.
  If two rollouts share the same start date, the system cannot decide which rollout applies, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the conflicting rollouts:
  
  Use transaction codes or tools related to planning versions or rollouts in APO (e.g., /SAPAPO/SDP94 for SNP or /SAPAPO/PPDS planning version maintenance).
  Check the rollout or planning version master data to find entries with the same start date.
  
  
  
  Correct the start dates:
  
  Adjust the start date of one of the conflicting rollouts so that each rollout has a unique start date.
  Ensure that the validity periods of rollouts do not overlap or start on the same date.
  
  
  
  Check integration and data consistency:
  
  If rollouts are created via integration from ECC or other systems, verify the data consistency and mapping.
  Correct any data inconsistencies in the source system or during data transfer.
  
  
  
  Re-run the planning or relevant process:
  
  After correcting the rollout dates, re-execute the planning or the process that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Planning Versions and Rollouts:
  
  Planning versions in APO allow you to simulate different planning scenarios. Each version can have multiple rollouts representing different time frames or scenarios.
  
  
  Transactions and Tools:
  
  /SAPAPO/SDP94 – SNP Planning Version Maintenance
  /SAPAPO/PPDS – PP/DS Planning Version Maintenance
  /SAPAPO/ROLLOUT – Rollout maintenance (if available)
  
  
  
  Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to planning versions and rollouts for your specific APO version.
  Review SAP APO documentation on planning version management.
  
  
  
  Prevention:
  
  Implement validation checks during rollout creation to prevent duplicate start dates.
  Train users on proper rollout and planning version management.
