This error typically occurs in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when trying to perform planning activities such as SNP (Supply Network Planning).
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing PPM/PDS: The primary cause of this error is that the system cannot find the necessary PPM or PDS for the specified product at the specified location and model. This can happen if:

  The PPM/PDS has been deleted or is inactive.
  The product is not assigned to the correct location or model in the planning area.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the APO system that prevent the PPM/PDS from being recognized.

  Solution:
  
  
  Create or Maintain PPM/PDS:

  Check Product and Location Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the product is correctly assigned to the location and model in the planning area. You can check this in the product master data.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks in the APO system to identify any inconsistencies in master data. This can help identify missing or incorrect entries.
  
  
  
  Review Data Transfer Processes:
  
  If the data is being transferred from another system, review the data transfer processes to ensure that all necessary master data is being transferred correctly.
