• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B094 - Stock coverage key figure &1 is not allowed as outflow key figure ?

  The SAP error message R7B094 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of key figures in the context of stock coverage analysis. Specifically, it states that the stock coverage key figure you are trying to use is not allowed as an outflow key figure. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO).
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Configuration: The key figure you are trying to use as an outflow key figure is not configured correctly in the system. In SAP, certain key figures are designated for specific roles (inflow, outflow, etc.), and using them incorrectly can lead to this error.
  Data Model Issues: The data model may not support the key figure you are trying to use in the context of outflows. This could be due to restrictions in the planning area or the way the key figures are defined.
  Planning Area Settings: The planning area settings may not allow the specified key figure to be used as an outflow key figure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Figure Settings: Go to the key figure configuration in the SAP system and verify the settings for the stock coverage key figure. Ensure that it is not marked as an outflow key figure if it is not intended to be used as such.
  Modify Planning Area: If necessary, modify the planning area settings to allow the use of the key figure as an outflow key figure. This may involve changing the key figure type or its role in the planning area.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to key figure configuration and planning area settings to ensure compliance with best practices.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the key figures behave as expected in the planning process.
