  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SOR099 indicates that the demand history for a specific product exceeds a predefined threshold value for forecast-related demand history. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when the system is trying to process demand data for forecasting purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Demand History: The demand history for the product in question is larger than the threshold set in the system. This can happen if there is a large volume of historical data that the system is trying to process.
  Configuration Settings: The threshold values for demand history may be set too low in the configuration settings, leading to this error when the actual demand history exceeds these limits.
  Data Quality Issues: There may be issues with the data quality, such as duplicate entries or incorrect data that inflate the demand history.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review and Adjust Threshold Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings in SAP APO and check the threshold values for demand history.
  Increase the threshold value to accommodate the volume of demand history you have. This can usually be done in the configuration settings for the forecasting area.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  Review the demand history data for the affected product. Look for any anomalies, such as duplicate entries or incorrect data.

  Limit Demand History:
  
  If the demand history is excessively long, consider limiting the period of demand history that is used for forecasting. This can be done by adjusting the settings in the forecasting profile.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for specific details on how to adjust the settings related to demand history and forecasting.
