The message often states that certain scheduling agreement items were discarded due to various reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The scheduling agreement may have inconsistent or incomplete data, such as missing delivery dates, quantities, or other critical fields.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set for the scheduling agreement may not align with the requirements of the planning run.
  Product Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the product master data, such as incorrect settings for the planning strategy or other relevant fields.
  Capacity Constraints: If there are capacity constraints in the production or supply chain, the system may discard certain items that cannot be fulfilled.
  Time Periods: The scheduling agreement items may fall outside the planning horizon or time periods defined in the system.
  Discontinuation of Products: If the product associated with the scheduling agreement has been discontinued or is no longer valid, the items may be discarded.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Review the scheduling agreement and ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly. Validate the data in the product master and ensure that it is consistent.

  Validate Product Master Data: Ensure that the product master data is complete and accurate. Check the planning strategy, availability check settings, and other relevant fields.
  Analyze Capacity Constraints: Review the capacity planning and ensure that there are no constraints that would prevent the scheduling agreement items from being fulfilled. Adjust production schedules or capacity as needed.
  Adjust Planning Horizon: If the items are falling outside the planning horizon, consider extending the planning horizon or adjusting the scheduling agreement dates.
  Check for Discontinued Products: Verify if the product is still active and valid in the system. If it has been discontinued, consider removing or updating the scheduling agreement.
