  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the product or location may not be configured properly, leading to the system being unable to identify a source of supply.
  Supply Chain Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the supply chain, such as missing or incorrect supply relationships.
  Stock Availability: There may be no available stock or supply for the material in question, which can lead to this error.

  Review Planning Parameters: Verify the planning parameters for the product and location. Ensure that the correct sourcing and supply chain settings are in place.

  Use the Correct Planning Version: Make sure you are using the correct planning version that contains the necessary data for the planning process.
