• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PINV114 - Calculate &1, &2(VCL) with const. Poisson distribution w/o price scaling ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PINV114 Calculate &1, &2(VCL) with const. Poisson distribution w/o price scaling typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an issue with the calculation of demand or supply using a Poisson distribution model. This error can arise during the planning process, particularly when dealing with statistical forecasting or demand planning.
  Cause:
  
  Data Issues: The error may be caused by missing or incorrect data in the planning book or master data. This could include missing historical data, incorrect key figures, or issues with the configuration of the planning area.
  Configuration Problems: The settings for the statistical model may not be correctly configured. This includes settings related to the Poisson distribution and how it is applied in the planning process.
  Price Scaling: The error message indicates that the calculation is being attempted without price scaling, which may not be appropriate for the data being processed. If the model expects price scaling and it is not provided, this can lead to errors.
  Statistical Model Limitations: The Poisson distribution is typically used for modeling count data. If the data does not fit the assumptions of the Poisson distribution, it may lead to calculation errors.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Integrity: Ensure that all relevant historical data is complete and accurate. Verify that the key figures used in the calculation are populated correctly.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the statistical forecasting model in the planning area. Ensure that the Poisson distribution is set up correctly and that any necessary parameters are defined.
  Enable Price Scaling: If the model requires price scaling, ensure that it is enabled and that the necessary price data is available for the calculations.
  Adjust Statistical Model: If the data does not fit the Poisson distribution, consider using a different statistical model that is more appropriate for the data characteristics.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional guidance and troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates and patches.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error is resolved and that the calculations are producing the expected results.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or support team for further assistance.
