• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OQ_C220 - All the source parameters are generic. ?

  The SAP error message "OQ_C220 All the source parameters are generic" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules where source parameters are defined for planning or forecasting. This error indicates that the system is unable to determine specific source parameters because they are all defined as generic, which can lead to ambiguity in the planning process.
  Cause:
  
  Generic Source Parameters: The error arises when all the source parameters (like location, product, etc.) are set to generic values. This means that the system cannot pinpoint a specific source for the planning or forecasting process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the planning book or data view where specific parameters should be defined but are left as generic.
  Data Integrity Issues: The master data or transaction data may not be properly maintained, leading to the system not being able to resolve specific parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Source Parameters: Check the configuration of the planning book or data view. Ensure that at least one of the source parameters is defined specifically rather than generically.
  Adjust Master Data: Verify that the master data (like product master, location master, etc.) is correctly maintained and that specific values are available for the parameters in question.
  Check Planning Book Settings: If you are using a planning book, ensure that the settings allow for specific parameters to be selected. You may need to adjust the settings to include specific values.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to configure source parameters correctly.
  Testing: After making changes, test the planning or forecasting process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
