This can happen during various processes, such as planning, order creation, or when executing a BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) call.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Source of Supply: The specified source of supply (e.g., vendor, plant, or location) may not exist in the system or may have been incorrectly specified in the transaction or BAPI call.
  Master Data Issues: The relevant master data (like material master, vendor master, or source list) may not be properly maintained or may be missing.
  Inactive or Blocked Source: The source of supply may be inactive or blocked, preventing it from being used in planning or order processing.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that prevent the source of supply from being recognized.

  Review Source List: If applicable, check the source list for the material to ensure that the source of supply is included and valid.
