• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/FCST089 - Manual horizon of the trend curve has to contain the forecast horizon ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/FCST089 indicates that there is an issue with the manual horizon of a trend curve in the forecasting process. Specifically, it states that the manual horizon must include the forecast horizon. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when working with forecast models.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the defined manual horizon for a trend curve does not encompass the forecast horizon. The manual horizon is the period for which you can manually adjust the forecast, while the forecast horizon is the period for which the system generates forecasts. If the manual horizon is shorter than the forecast horizon, the system cannot apply the trend curve correctly, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the manual horizon of the trend curve includes the entire forecast horizon. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check the Forecast Horizon: Determine the forecast horizon that is being used in your forecasting process. This can typically be found in the forecasting settings or the specific forecast profile you are using.
  
  
  Adjust the Manual Horizon:
  
  Go to the trend curve settings in the SAP APO system.
  Locate the manual horizon settings for the trend curve in question.
  Ensure that the manual horizon is set to a range that includes the entire forecast horizon. If necessary, extend the manual horizon to cover the forecast horizon.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After adjusting the manual horizon, save your changes and re-run the forecasting process to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Test the Forecasting: After making the adjustments, test the forecasting process again to ensure that the error has been resolved and that the forecasts are generated correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Forecast Profiles: Review the forecast profiles and settings in your SAP APO system to ensure they are configured correctly.
