You cannot use 'customer' as a dummy index within 'sum{customer in
customers}', because it is already used as a dummy index in outer
context 'qty_wh{(customer, product) in demand}:', that is, you need to
choose another identifier. In the context 'sum{customer in customers}'
'customer' is considered as a given value, not dummy index, that leads
to 0-ary slice, i.e. the slice having no dummy indices, which is not
allowed. (Here "slice" means a n-tuple, whose components are either
dummy indices or some assigned values.)
