  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RRP_HEUR650 Product is not relevant for Shelf Life Planning typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when you are trying to run a heuristic or planning run for a product that is not set up to use Shelf Life Planning (SLP). Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Product Configuration: The product in question is not configured to be relevant for Shelf Life Planning. This could be due to missing settings in the product master data.
  Planning Area Settings: The planning area you are using may not be set up to handle shelf life planning for the specific product.
  Product Type: The product may not be of a type that supports shelf life planning (e.g., non-perishable items).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Go to the product master data in SAP APO and check the settings related to shelf life. Ensure that the product is marked as relevant for shelf life planning.
  You can do this by navigating to the product master in the APO system and checking the "Shelf Life" tab or relevant sections.

  If you are using a specific heuristic, check its settings to ensure it is designed to handle products with shelf life requirements.
