• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPE_IPC424 - Forecast on &1 ignored because of read-until date &2 ?

  The SAP error message CPE_IPC424 indicates that a forecast for a specific material (represented by &1) is being ignored due to a "read-until date" (represented by &2) that has been reached or exceeded. This typically occurs in the context of demand planning or forecasting within the SAP Integrated Planning (IPC) module.
  Cause:
  
  Read-Until Date: The read-until date is a cutoff date for which the system will consider historical data for forecasting. If the forecast date is beyond this read-until date, the system will not process the forecast.
  Configuration Settings: The read-until date may be configured in the planning area settings or in the forecasting profile. If it is set too early, it may prevent valid forecasts from being processed.
  Data Availability: There may be insufficient historical data available for the forecast calculation, leading to the system ignoring the forecast.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust Read-Until Date: Review and adjust the read-until date in the planning area settings or forecasting profile to ensure it encompasses the dates for which you want to generate forecasts.
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for the planning area and forecasting profiles are appropriate for your forecasting needs. This includes checking the time buckets and the historical data range.
  Data Review: Verify that there is sufficient historical data available for the forecast period. If necessary, update or enrich the historical data to improve forecast accuracy.
  Re-run Forecasting: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the forecasting process to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
