entries in the table (particularly access to the material master data
in material requirements planning).
Data is generally saved in the following tables by the forecast run:
PROP: Master data for the forecast. You can use the forecast monitor
(transaction WFCS03) to <DS:DE.WFCS_BOOLEAN_SHOW_MDST>display the
forecast master data</>.
MARC: If the relevant indicators are set in Customizing for the MRP
type, the forecast automatically calculates the reorder stock and the
safety stock and saves them in the MARC table.
WFCS_WRFT: The movement data table with historical data (POS sales) and
forecast data. You can use the forecast monitor (transaction WFCS03) to
<DS:DE.WFCS_BOOLEAN_SHOW_WRFT>display the forecasted movement data</>.

System Response

The system discards the whole posting package.

How to fix this error?

Repeat the forecast run. Use the forecast monitor (transaction WFCS03)
for analyzing problems if necessary. If problems continue to occur
during the forecast run, contact your system administrator.
