• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART093 - Temporal overlaps exist between the different priorities ?

  The SAP error message WRF_FOLUPART093 indicates that there are temporal overlaps between different priorities in the planning of follow-up parts. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP S/4HANA when dealing with product planning, especially in scenarios involving product substitutions, alternative products, or follow-up parts.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there are conflicting time frames for different priorities assigned to follow-up parts. For example, if you have two follow-up parts that are supposed to be active during overlapping time periods, the system cannot determine which part should take precedence, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Follow-Up Parts Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the follow-up parts in the system. Ensure that the time periods assigned to each follow-up part do not overlap.
  Adjust the validity periods of the follow-up parts to ensure they are distinct and do not conflict.
  
  
  
  Adjust Priorities:
  
  If the follow-up parts have different priorities, ensure that the priority settings are correctly configured. Higher priority parts should have time frames that do not overlap with lower priority parts.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check on the master data related to the follow-up parts. Look for any inconsistencies or errors in the data that might be causing the overlap.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing follow-up parts and their priorities. This can provide insights into best practices and configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes in a development or test environment to ensure that the error is resolved before moving to production.
  
  
  
  Seek Support:
  
  If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance. They may have additional tools or insights to help resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on managing follow-up parts.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to product planning and follow-up parts, such as /SAPAPO/SDP94 for planning board or /SAPAPO/MC90 for master data maintenance.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training sessions or documentation on SAP APO or S/4HANA product planning to better understand how to manage follow-up parts and avoid such errors in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the WRF_FOLUPART093 error in your SAP system.
