• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EMDUS088 - Rslt par. &1: 'No Proration' ind. only permitted for operand cat. DEMAND ?

  The SAP error message EMDUS088 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the result parameters in the context of demand planning or similar processes. Specifically, the error states that the "No Proration" indicator can only be used for operand categories classified as "DEMAND." 
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Operand Category: The error typically arises when the "No Proration" indicator is applied to an operand category that is not classified as "DEMAND." This could happen if the configuration or settings for the result parameters are not aligned with the expected operand categories.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the planning book or data view where the result parameters are defined. If the operand category is set incorrectly, it can lead to this error.
  Data Integrity Issues: If the data being processed does not conform to the expected structure or definitions, it may trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Operand Category: Review the operand category associated with the result parameter that is causing the error. Ensure that it is set to "DEMAND" if you intend to use the "No Proration" indicator.
  Adjust Result Parameters: If the operand category is not "DEMAND," you may need to either change the operand category or remove the "No Proration" indicator from the result parameter.
  Configuration Review: Go through the configuration settings in the planning book or data view to ensure that all parameters are correctly defined and aligned with the expected categories.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring operand categories and result parameters correctly.
