• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IAOM109 - Additional characteristics for derivation not considered in simulation ?

  The SAP error message IAOM109 indicates that there are additional characteristics for derivation that were not considered during the simulation of a planning scenario in SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This typically occurs when the system is trying to derive certain values based on characteristics that are not included in the simulation process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristics: The simulation may not include all the necessary characteristics that are required for the derivation process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the planning model or the derivation rules that leads to the omission of certain characteristics.
  Data Inconsistencies: The data being used for the simulation might not be complete or consistent, leading to the inability to consider all relevant characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Derivation Rules: Check the derivation rules in your planning model to ensure that all necessary characteristics are included. Make sure that the rules are correctly configured to account for all relevant characteristics.
  Adjust Simulation Settings: When setting up the simulation, ensure that all required characteristics are selected and included in the simulation parameters.
  Data Validation: Validate the data being used in the simulation to ensure that it is complete and consistent. Look for any missing or incorrect entries that could affect the derivation process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to configure derivation rules and simulations in your version of SAP.
  Testing: After making adjustments, run the simulation again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation may be needed to identify any underlying issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation related to SAP IBP/APO to better understand how derivation and simulations work.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
