• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAWE_BO_SA_TIME_PS060 - Automatic forecast not possible; assignment &1 &2 with &3 is read-only ?

  The SAP error message SAWE_BO_SA_TIME_PS060 indicates that the system is unable to perform an automatic forecast because the assignment specified (with identifiers &1, &2, and &3) is in a read-only state. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar forecasting modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Read-Only Status: The assignment (which could be a product, location, or other entity) is set to read-only, meaning that it cannot be modified or updated. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The assignment is locked by another process or user.
  The assignment is part of a planning version that is not editable.
  The assignment is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., historical data).
  
  
  
  Planning Version: The planning version you are working with may be set to a status that does not allow changes, such as "locked" or "frozen."
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify the assignment.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Assignment Status: Verify the status of the assignment. If it is locked or in a read-only state, you may need to unlock it or change its status to allow modifications.
  
  
  Change Planning Version: If the planning version is locked, consider switching to a different version that allows changes or unlocking the current version if you have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to perform the forecast has the appropriate authorizations to modify the assignment. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to handle read-only assignments in the context of forecasting.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
