  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CTM1395 indicates that a specific location product in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module is set up in such a way that it can only be replaced and cannot be procured. This typically occurs in the context of the Capable-to-Match (CTM) planning process.
  Cause:
  
  Product Configuration: The location product is configured as a replacement product, meaning it is intended to be used as a substitute for another product rather than being procured directly.
  Master Data Settings: The master data for the product may have settings that restrict procurement, such as specific procurement types or planning strategies that do not allow for direct procurement.
  Planning Area Settings: The planning area may have settings that dictate how products are treated, including whether they can be procured or only replaced.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Product Master Data: Review the product master data for the location product in question. Ensure that the procurement type is set correctly. If the product should be procured, change the procurement type accordingly.
  Review Replacement Settings: If the product is intended to be a replacement, ensure that the planning process is set up to handle replacements correctly. You may need to adjust the planning strategy or settings in the CTM profile.
  Adjust Planning Area Settings: If necessary, review the planning area settings to ensure that they allow for procurement of the product. This may involve changing the configuration of the planning area or the product's attributes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring products for procurement and replacement in APO.
