• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_SDM_API035 - Forecast demands have to be excluded for material flow logic ?

  The SAP error message CM_SDM_API035 indicates that forecast demands must be excluded for material flow logic. This error typically arises in the context of Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is trying to process material flow logic but encounters forecast demands that are not compatible with the current configuration or logic.
  Cause:
  
  Forecast Demand Configuration: The system may be configured to not allow forecast demands in certain scenarios, such as when using specific planning strategies or when certain settings are enabled in the material master.
  Material Flow Logic Settings: The material flow logic may be set up in a way that does not accommodate forecast demands, leading to conflicts when the system attempts to process them.
  Planning Strategy: The planning strategy assigned to the material may not support forecast demands, especially if it is a make-to-order or similar strategy that relies on actual customer orders rather than forecasts.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the material, such as incorrect settings in the material master or planning parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Material Master Settings: Check the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that the planning strategy allows for forecast demands. If necessary, change the planning strategy to one that supports forecast demands.
  Adjust Forecast Settings: If forecast demands are not needed, consider adjusting the forecast settings or excluding them from the planning run. This can often be done in the planning book or through the forecast profile settings.
  Modify Material Flow Logic: If the material flow logic needs to accommodate forecast demands, review the configuration of the material flow logic and make necessary adjustments to include forecast demands.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional guidance and best practices.
  Testing: After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the material flow logic processes correctly.
