  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MVM_CONS_CHK001 indicates that not all locations in your supply chain are connected through transportation lanes. This is a common issue in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when setting up transportation networks for planning purposes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Transportation Lanes: The primary cause of this error is that there are locations in your network that do not have defined transportation lanes connecting them. Transportation lanes are necessary for the system to understand how goods can move between different locations.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where transportation lanes have not been properly set up in the system.
  
  
  Inactive or Deleted Lanes: Sometimes, transportation lanes may have been deleted or marked as inactive, leading to gaps in the transportation network.
  
  
  Location Master Data Issues: There could be issues with the master data of the locations, such as incorrect or missing entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Transportation Lanes:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/TPVS (Transportation Lane Maintenance) in SAP APO.
  Check if transportation lanes exist between all relevant locations. If not, create the necessary transportation lanes to connect the locations.
  
  
  
  Review Location Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all locations involved in the planning process are correctly defined in the system.
  Check for any inconsistencies or missing data in the location master records.
  
  
  
  Check for Inactive Lanes:
  
  Review the status of existing transportation lanes to ensure they are active and valid.
  If any lanes are inactive, consider reactivating them or creating new ones as needed.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use the consistency check tools available in SAP APO to identify and resolve any discrepancies in the transportation network.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on setting up transportation lanes and managing location data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transportation Lane: A transportation lane defines the route and the means of transport between two locations. It includes details such as transportation costs, lead times, and capacity.
  Location Master Data: This includes all relevant information about locations (e.g., plants, distribution centers, suppliers) that are part of the supply chain.
  APO Planning Books: Ensure that your planning books are set up correctly to utilize the transportation lanes effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to transportation lane configuration.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error message and ensure that all locations are properly linked with transportation lanes in your SAP APO system.
