  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/STOR_MSG020 indicates that there is an issue with the consumption type for a product in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error typically arises when the system cannot determine the appropriate consumption type for a specific product during planning or execution processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The consumption type for the product may not be defined in the system. This can happen if the product has not been properly set up in the APO system.
  Incorrect Master Data: The product master data may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to the inability to select a consumption type.
  Planning Area Issues: The planning area may not be configured correctly to handle the consumption types for the products in question.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:

  Verify that all necessary fields are filled out and that there are no inconsistencies.

  Review Planning Area Configuration:
