• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/BLRG017 - None of the selected resources is relevant for the forecast ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/BLRG017 None of the selected resources is relevant for the forecast typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly when dealing with demand planning or forecasting. This error indicates that the resources you have selected for the forecast do not have any relevant data or configuration that allows them to be included in the forecasting process.
  Causes:
  
  
  Resource Configuration: The resources selected may not be properly configured in the system. This could mean that they are not assigned to the relevant planning area or do not have the necessary characteristics defined.
  
  
  Data Availability: There may be no historical data available for the selected resources. Forecasting requires historical data to generate predictions, and if none exists, the system cannot process the forecast.
  
  
  Planning Area Settings: The planning area may not be set up to include the selected resources. This could be due to incorrect settings in the planning area configuration.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to choose the resources for forecasting may be too restrictive, leading to no relevant resources being found.
  
  
  Resource Status: The resources may be inactive or not available for planning in the current context.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Resource Configuration: Verify that the resources are correctly configured in the system. Ensure they are assigned to the appropriate planning area and have the necessary characteristics.
  
  
  Review Historical Data: Check if there is historical data available for the resources. If not, you may need to input historical data or adjust your selection criteria to include resources with available data.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Area Settings: Review the settings of the planning area to ensure that it includes the resources you are trying to forecast. Make any necessary adjustments to include the relevant resources.
  
  
  Modify Selection Criteria: If the selection criteria are too restrictive, consider broadening them to include more resources that may be relevant for the forecast.
  
  
  Check Resource Status: Ensure that the resources are active and available for planning. If they are inactive, you may need to activate them or select different resources.
  
  
  Related Information:
