How To Fix WFCS096 - Historical time series for plant &1 were completed.

WFCS096 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 096

• Message text: Historical time series for plant &1 were completed.

What causes this issue?

The system read fewer entries from the database than expected for some
historical time series.
One reason for this could be that no sales have occurred in the periods
in question and the forecast has not taken place for these articles for
some time. Both processes update the database table WFCS_WRFT, in which
the historical time series and the forecast time series are saved.
Another reason could be that the period indicator has been changed in
the meantime.

System Response

For incomplete time series, the system checks each available period to
see whether the first day of the period is a valid date for the
relevant period split (daily, weekly, monthly, posting periods). If
this is so, the system fills the missing periods with zero consumption
so that a forecast can take place. The system also checks whether the
period indicator has changed in the meantime.
If you change the period indicator from a long period split to a
shorter one (for example, from week to day), this check can be
inaccurate.

How to fix this error?

The number of time series completed appears in the application log for
the forecast (transaction WFCSL01) when you display the "Amount" field.
