Duplicate blocks in APO Block Planning using PPDS

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Generally block maintenance doesn't allow duplicate block numbers  - it errors out saying please enter unique number.

Recently we observed duplicate block.

Checked SAP note 624068 which looks similar to our issue. It suggest implementing SAP note 624323; but this is for older version; we are using APO 7.0 version.

We had to delete the block for the planning to happen properly. Any idea how we can prevent the duplicate block creation or what might have casued this issue.

Thanks

Regards,

AC

Hi Amlan,

We experience a similar issue from time to time - however to date we were unable to reproduce it or to identify the cause.

We even had to schedule report /SAPAPO/MC01_BLOCK_DUPL_CHECK as a job to send an e-mail to IT Support if there are duplicate blocks.

I see your post dates from 2013 - so if you managed to identify the cause please feel free to share the knowledge
