This error typically arises when trying to use a BOM in APO that does not meet the necessary criteria for APO relevance.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Configuration: The BOM item may not be configured correctly for APO. This can happen if the BOM is not marked as relevant for planning in the system.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not be set up for APO. This includes settings related to the planning strategy, MRP type, or other relevant fields.
  Plant Settings: The plant settings may not allow for the BOM to be used in APO. This could be due to the plant not being configured for APO or the BOM not being assigned to the correct plant.
  BOM Status: The BOM might be in a status that does not allow it to be used in APO, such as being inactive or not released.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Configuration: Ensure that the BOM is correctly configured for APO. You can do this by checking the BOM in the SAP GUI and verifying that it is marked as relevant for planning.
  Review Material Master: Check the material master record for the relevant material and ensure that it is set up for APO. Look for fields related to planning and ensure they are correctly filled.
  Plant Configuration: Verify that the plant is configured for APO and that the BOM is assigned to the correct plant. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the plant settings are correct.
