  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CMDS_SCO037 No procurement indicator exists for product &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is unable to find a procurement indicator for a specific product. This can happen during planning activities, such as when trying to create a supply plan or when executing a demand planning run.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Procurement Indicator: The most common cause of this error is that the product in question does not have a procurement indicator assigned to it in the system. The procurement indicator is essential for determining how the product will be sourced or produced.
  Incorrect Product Master Data: The product master data may not be correctly maintained, leading to the absence of necessary procurement information.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that prevent the procurement indicator from being recognized or assigned correctly.
  Product Not Active: The product may not be active in the system, or it may not be included in the planning version being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Go to the product master data in SAP APO and verify that the procurement indicator is assigned. You can do this by navigating to the product in the APO system and checking the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Procurement).
  If the procurement indicator is missing, you will need to assign the appropriate procurement type (e.g., in-house production, external procurement).
  
  
  
  Maintain Procurement Indicator:
  
  If the procurement indicator is not set, you can maintain it by editing the product master data. Ensure that you select the correct procurement type based on your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Version:
  
  Ensure that the product is included in the planning version you are working with. If the product is not active in that version, you may need to activate it.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that procurement indicators are set up correctly. This may involve checking the settings in the configuration transaction (SPRO) related to APO and procurement.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing product master data and procurement indicators.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MAT1 to access product master data or /SAPAPO/MC62 to check planning versions.
