WFCS068 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WFCS - Message Class for Store Forecasting (Dev. Package WFCS)

• Message number: 068

• Message text: No/invalid historical values for material &1 in plant &2 &3 &4

What causes this issue?

During the forecast run, the system read no historical time periods or
inconsistent historical time periods for the material entered for the
plant.

System Response

The system cannot run the forecast for the material entered for the
plant, as there is either no history available or the history is
inconsistent.
Possible reasons for this are:
No supply of historical data
The check for incomplete data in the history has revealed that for a
given period indicator, at least one period has an invalid date for the
first day of the period. This could be caused by changing the period
indicator in the forecast master data.

How to fix this error?

A sufficient number of valid historical periods must be available in
the system.

  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS068 No/invalid historical values for material &1 in plant &2  &3 &4
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access historical data (such as consumption or stock values) for a material in a specific plant, but no valid historical data exists or the data is invalid/corrupted.
  Typically, this happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Forecasting (e.g., in Demand Planning or MRP runs)
  Consumption-based planning
  Material requirements planning (MRP)
  Availability checks or stock evaluations
  
  The system expects historical consumption or stock data to calculate forecasts, safety stock, or reorder points. If this data is missing or invalid, the error is triggered.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  No historical consumption data exists for the material in the specified plant.
  Incorrect or incomplete master data setup, such as missing or incorrect material master records or plant data.
  Data inconsistencies or corruption in consumption or stock history tables.
  Material has never been used or consumed in
