  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MAT007 Requirement profile &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is unable to find a specified requirement profile for a material. This can happen during various planning processes, such as demand planning or supply network planning.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Requirement Profile: The most common cause is that the requirement profile specified in the planning book or in the master data does not exist in the system.
