  Check Location Product Instance:
  
  Go to the transaction /SAPAPO/LOC3 (Location Product Master) in the APO system.
  Check if the material ID (MATID) and location ID (LOCID) exist in the system.
  If they do not exist, you will need to create a location product instance for the material at the specified location.
  
  
  
  Create Location Product Instance:
  
  If the instance is missing, you can create it by using the transaction /SAPAPO/LOC1 (Create Location Product).
  Enter the necessary details, including the material ID and location ID, and save the changes.
  
  
  
  Data Synchronization:
