  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS057 No forecasting data read for material &1 in plant &2 &3 &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This message indicates that the system could not find any forecasting data for the specified material (&1) in the specified plant (&2). The placeholders &3 and &4 typically provide additional context such as the forecast version or period, depending on the specific scenario.
  Common causes include:
  
  No forecast has been created or saved for the material in the given plant.
  The forecast data exists but is not valid for the period or version being requested.
  Forecast data might have been deleted or not yet generated.
  Incorrect selection parameters or filters in the forecast reading process.
  The forecast version or planning version used is not active or does not contain data for the material.
  
  
  When does this occur?
  
  During forecast reading in planning transactions (e.g., MRP runs, consumption-based planning, or forecast evaluation).
  When executing transactions or reports that require forecast data (e.g., transaction MC44, MP30, or custom programs).
  In integration scenarios where forecast data is read for planning or reporting.
  
  
  Solution / How to resolve:
  
  
  Check if forecast data exists:
  
  Use transaction MC44 (Display Forecast) or MP30 (Forecast) to verify if forecast data exists for the material and plant.
  If no data exists, create or generate the forecast.
  
  
  
  Create or regenerate forecast:
  
  Use transaction MP30 or relevant forecasting tools to create a forecast for the material.
  Ensure the forecast version and planning version are correctly maintained and active.
  
  
  
  Check forecast version and planning version:
  
  Verify that the forecast version used in the planning run or report is correct and contains data.
  Use transaction MC44 or MC46 to check forecast versions.
  
  
  
  Check selection parameters:
  
  Ensure that the selection criteria (material, plant, forecast version, period) are correct and consistent.
  Adjust filters or parameters if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check authorization and data consistency:
  
  Verify that the user has authorization to access forecast data.
