This error typically arises when the system is unable to determine how to perform the ATP check for a given product and location combination.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Check Mode Configuration: The check mode for the specified item (identified by &1 for product and &2 for location) has not been defined in the system. This can happen if the configuration for the ATP check is incomplete or if the item has not been properly set up in the system.
  Incorrect Master Data: The product master data or location master data may not have the necessary settings for ATP checks.
  Customizing Settings: The customizing settings for the ATP check might not be correctly maintained, leading to the absence of a check mode for the item.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Check Mode:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/ATP or use the relevant customizing path in SPRO.
  Navigate to the section for defining check modes for ATP checks.
  Ensure that a check mode is defined for the product and location combination in question.
  
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM03 to view the product master data.
  Ensure that the relevant ATP settings are correctly maintained in the product master data.
  
  
  
  Check Location Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code /SAPAPO/LOC to check the location master data.
  Verify that the location is correctly set up for ATP checks.
  
  
  
  Customizing Settings:
  
  Review the customizing settings for ATP in the SAP system to ensure that all necessary configurations are in place.
  Check the settings under SPRO -> Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Global Settings -> Check Mode.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test ATP check for the item to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
