  The SAP error message UPO_MIG261, which states "DN &1 has no downstream node," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Supply Chain Management (SCM) modules. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a downstream node for a given distribution network (DN) or planning object.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the downstream node (e.g., a location, plant, or storage location) has not been properly configured in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as missing relationships between nodes in the supply chain.
  Incorrect Planning Hierarchy: The planning hierarchy may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the downstream nodes.

  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the master data to identify any discrepancies or missing links between nodes.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SAPAPO/SDP94 for planning book or /SAPAPO/MC62 for checking the master data) to analyze and correct the data.
