• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAWE_BO_SA_TIME_PS049 - Automatic forecast not possible; object &1 &2 has deletion indicator set ?

  The SAP error message SAWE_BO_SA_TIME_PS049 indicates that an automatic forecast cannot be executed because the specified object (identified by &1 and &2) has a deletion indicator set. This typically means that the system has marked the object for deletion, which prevents it from being used in forecasting processes.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Indicator Set: The object (e.g., a material, customer, or other master data) has been flagged for deletion in the system. This is often done to prevent further processing of the object.
  Data Integrity Issues: The presence of a deletion indicator may indicate that the data is not valid for forecasting, as it may not be relevant for future planning.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Deletion Indicator:
  
  Navigate to the relevant master data (e.g., material master, customer master) in SAP.
  Check if the deletion indicator is set for the object in question.
  If the deletion indicator is not needed, you can remove it. This typically involves editing the master data record and unchecking the deletion indicator.
  
  
  
  Review Forecasting Settings:
  
  Ensure that the forecasting settings and parameters are correctly configured for the object.
  If the object is indeed meant to be deleted, consider whether it should be excluded from the forecasting process.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Users:
  
  Discuss with relevant stakeholders (e.g., sales, inventory management) to confirm whether the object should be active or if it is indeed obsolete.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If the object is obsolete, consider performing a data cleanup to remove or archive unnecessary records to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the forecasting process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
