  If the product should be a master output, remove the dummy designation.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Book Configuration:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/MC62 (for planning book configuration) and /SAPAPO/PROD (for product master data) to help troubleshoot the issue.
