  1. Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically during the integration or data transfer between SAP ERP and SAP APO systems, or within APO's Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning modules.
  
  The message indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of target sales data for a particular purchasing list identified by the purchasing list ID (PLID).
  The purchasing list (&1) with ID (&2) is expected to have a corresponding mapping for target sales, but this mapping is missing, incomplete, or inconsistent.
  This can happen if:
  
  The purchasing list is not properly maintained or activated.
  The target sales data for the purchasing list is not available or incorrectly assigned.
  There is a configuration or master data inconsistency between the ERP and APO systems.
  The integration model or CIF (Core Interface) is not correctly set up or has missing data.

  Confirm that the target sales data is properly mapped to the purchasing list.
  In APO, check the relevant planning versions and ensure that the target sales are assigned to the purchasing list.
  
  
  
  Check Integration and CIF Settings:
  
  Review the CIF integration model between ERP and APO to ensure that the purchasing list and related sales data are correctly replicated.
  Re-initialize or re-transfer the master data if necessary.

  Check the configuration settings related to purchasing lists and target sales mapping in APO.
