What causes this issue?

You are creating a master record for a product that is to be procured
externally. However, you have not entered a planned delivery time.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

A planned delivery time of zero only makes sense if the product can be
procured in less than a day. This is possibly the case, for example,
when stock is transferred from one plant to another.
