9 month ago I started out as a sap consultant...

From their point of view, you’ve not completed a piece of work the director asked you to (half handed it over without checking and in the knowledge it wasn’t correctly specified), repeatedly missed meetings with the customer (which clearly they’re upset about) and not shown the capability to do the job they want you to do (in this case coding).
So, you’re not being effective, and likely to get a severe telling off, or let go next week.
Whilst I’m sure that’s not a fair assessment and I’m sure sounds very harsh, in your position I’d be looking for another job ASAP regardless.
Is sounds like you need a more supportive environment, and since you’re still learning the ropes, some more supervision to help you avoid getting into tight spots with customers.
There has certainly been a breakdown in communication (on both sides it seems), so if it were me, I’d also reflect on that and whether there’s anything you can learn/do better on that front.

Is the customer located outside the UK? A 630am meeting seems pretty unfair. I'd have suggested to the customer that they move the meeting and made them aware that I'm based in the UK. Or get up and do it from home, going in later.
I'd be looking around for a new role really. It sounds a fairly toxic environment. Maybe think twice if you _really_ want to do ABAP too, it's hardly the most modern of technologies.

You messed up by not attending the 6.30am meetings without notice.
However, it sounds like you're in a fairly toxic company. Newly trained and thrown into the deep end without a good skill match for the project... I can imagine its without the pay to match too.
I would start looking without waiting for them to manage you out.
