This error indicates that the system requires the user to specify or select an average daily usage (ADU) value for a material or product before proceeding with a particular transaction or process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Average Daily Usage: The most common cause of this error is that the average daily usage for the material in question has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the material master or planning parameters that prevent the system from calculating or retrieving the average daily usage.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies or missing data in the material master records or related planning data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Average Daily Usage:
  
  Navigate to the material master record for the affected material.
  Go to the relevant planning view (e.g., MRP view) and ensure that the average daily usage is defined.
  If it is not defined, you can calculate it based on historical consumption data and enter it.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:

  Review Planning Parameters:

  Make sure that the planning strategy being used is appropriate for the material type.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  You can use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) to update the material master or MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to check the current status of the material.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to set up average daily usage and related planning parameters.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MD61 (Create Planned Independent Requirements).
  Planning Strategies: Understand the different planning strategies available in SAP (e.g., Make-to-Stock, Make-to-Order) and how they affect average daily usage calculations.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to material master data and planning parameters.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and inventory management.
