  Adjust Storage Buckets Profile: If necessary, modify the storage buckets profile to match the seasonal pattern. This may involve changing the bucket intervals or the overall structure of the profile.
  
  
  Reassign Profiles: If the seasonal pattern is correct and you do not want to change it, consider reassigning a different storage buckets profile that is compatible with the seasonal pattern.
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP APO system to ensure that both the seasonal pattern and storage buckets profile are set up correctly.
