  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PDEM106 indicates that there is an inconsistency or non-existence of a location number and its associated GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module of SAP. This error typically arises during processes that involve location data, such as planning, data transfer, or integration tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The location number and GUID may not match in the APO database. This can happen if the location was deleted or not properly created in the system.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that prevent the proper recognition of the location and GUID.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Location Data: Verify that the location number and GUID exist in the APO system. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/LOC to check the location master data.
  Data Consistency Check: Use transaction /SAPAPO/MASTER_DATA to perform a consistency check on the master data. This can help identify any discrepancies.
  Recreate Missing Data: If the location does not exist, you may need to create it in the APO system. Ensure that the GUID is correctly assigned.
  Review Data Transfer Processes: If the error occurs during data transfer, review the data transfer process and mappings to ensure that the location and GUID are being transferred correctly.
  Check for Archiving: If the location was archived, you may need to unarchive it or create a new entry.
