  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ESPP_PR490 No historical values exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is trying to access historical data for a particular product or location, but no such data is available. This can happen during planning runs, forecasting, or when trying to generate statistical forecasts.

  Incorrect Configuration: The planning area or key figures may not be correctly configured to capture or display historical data.
  Time Period Issues: The time period for which the historical data is being requested may not have any data available.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Historical Data: Verify if there are any historical data records for the product/location in question. You can do this by checking the relevant key figures in the planning book or using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/MC62 to view historical data.

  Adjust Time Period: If the time period is incorrect, adjust it to a range where historical data is available.
  Check for Data Deletion: Investigate if any data deletion or archiving processes have removed the historical data. If so, you may need to restore it from backups or archives.
