This error typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to create or modify a planning object, such as a production order, a purchase order, or a similar entity that requires a priority setting.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Priority Field: Ensure that the priority field in the relevant transaction or planning object is filled with a valid value greater than zero.
  Review Configuration: If you are using a custom program or enhancement, check the logic that sets the priority value. Ensure that it correctly assigns a value greater than zero.
  Default Values: If applicable, set up default values for priority in the configuration so that it automatically assigns a valid value when creating new planning objects.
  User Input: If the priority is being entered manually, ensure that users are trained to enter a valid priority value.
  
  Related Information:
