• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_SMI111 - Customer horizon does not end on bucket boundary of display horizon ?

  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_SMI111 indicates that the customer horizon does not align with the bucket boundaries of the display horizon in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or similar modules. This typically occurs when the time frame for which data is being analyzed or displayed does not match the predefined intervals (buckets) set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Misalignment of Time Frames: The customer horizon (the time period for which you want to analyze customer data) does not end on a defined bucket boundary. For example, if your buckets are set to weekly intervals, but your customer horizon ends in the middle of a week, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: The settings for the display horizon and bucket definitions may not be properly configured, leading to mismatches.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrectly entered dates or time frames in the relevant transaction or report can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Adjust the Customer Horizon: Modify the customer horizon to ensure that it ends on a bucket boundary. For example, if your buckets are weekly, ensure that the customer horizon ends on a Sunday (or the last day of the week as defined in your system).
  Review Bucket Settings: Check the configuration of the bucket settings in your SAP system. Ensure that the bucket intervals are set correctly and that they align with the expected time frames for analysis.
  Use Standard Time Frames: If possible, use standard time frames that are already aligned with the bucket definitions to avoid this error.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on setting customer horizons and bucket definitions.
