  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SOR114 No phase-out forecast for product &1 at entry location &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), particularly when dealing with forecasting and planning for products that are being phased out.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is no phase-out forecast available for the specified product (&1) at the specified entry location (&2). A phase-out forecast is used to manage the decline in demand for a product that is being discontinued or replaced. The absence of this forecast can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Phase-Out Data: The phase-out forecast data has not been defined for the product at the specified location.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for phase-out forecasting may not be set up correctly in the system.
  Data Transfer Issues: There may be issues with data transfer from the source system to the APO system, leading to missing forecast data.

  Check Phase-Out Forecast Data:

  Define Phase-Out Forecast:
  
  If the phase-out forecast is missing, you can define it by creating a forecast profile that includes phase-out parameters.
  Use the transaction /SAPAPO/MC90 to maintain the forecast profile and ensure that phase-out settings are included.
  
  
  
  Review Product Master Data:
  
  Check the product master data in the APO system to ensure that the product is correctly set up for phase-out.
  Ensure that the product lifecycle status is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Data Transfer and Integration:
  
  If you suspect data transfer issues, check the integration settings between the ERP and APO systems.
