• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PFCS_MESS190 - Product/location &1/&2&3: No std dev. exists for demand in tripping ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PFCS_MESS190 indicates that there is no standard deviation for demand in the context of a specific product and location. This error typically arises in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module when the system is trying to perform a calculation that requires the standard deviation of demand, but it cannot find the necessary data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The most common cause is that the historical demand data for the specified product/location combination is insufficient or missing. The standard deviation is calculated based on historical demand data, and if there are not enough data points, the system cannot compute it.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the planning book or the data settings that prevent the system from accessing the required demand data.
  Data Deletion: Historical data might have been deleted or not yet loaded into the system, leading to a lack of data for the calculation.
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not have the necessary data or may not be activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Historical Data: Verify that there is sufficient historical demand data for the product/location combination. You can do this by checking the demand history in the relevant planning book or InfoCube.
  Data Loading: If historical data is missing, ensure that the data loading process (e.g., from SAP ERP to SAP APO) is functioning correctly and that the necessary data is being transferred.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that the planning book and data settings are correctly set up to access the required demand data.
  Activate Planning Version: Ensure that the planning version you are using is activated and contains the necessary data.
  Run Demand Planning: If applicable, run the demand planning process to generate the required statistical data, including standard deviation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to demand planning and standard deviation calculations for additional guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/SDP94 (for demand planning) or /SAPAPO/MC62 (for checking demand history) to investigate further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP APO for more in-depth analysis and resolution.
