  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS105 Updating error for time series buffer w. period day, calendar &1 &2 &3 &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during the update of the time series buffer in SAP, specifically when working with time-dependent data such as planning versions, calendars, or time series data in modules like PP/DS (Production Planning/Detailed Scheduling) or APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization).
  
  The message indicates that an update to the time series buffer failed for a specific period, day, and calendar combination.
  The placeholders &1, &2, &3, &4 represent the period, day, calendar, and possibly an additional parameter (like a planning version or key figure).
  The failure can be caused by:
  
  Inconsistencies or missing entries in the calendar or time series data.
  Locking or buffering issues where the time series buffer cannot be updated due to concurrent access or data corruption.
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration of the time series or calendar.
  Data inconsistencies between the planning version and the calendar.
  Authorization or system errors preventing the update.
  
  
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  Typically in SAP APO or PP/DS during planning runs, data loads, or when time series data is being updated or transferred.
  Can also appear during CIF (Core Interface) data transfer or when working with time series buffers in SCM (Supply Chain Management).
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check the Calendar and Time Series Configuration:
  
  Verify that the calendar (&3) exists and is correctly maintained.
  Check the period (&1) and day (&2) values for correctness and consistency.
  Ensure that the time series data is complete and consistent for the given calendar.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Buffer Issues:
  
  Use transaction /SAPAPO/TS or relevant time series buffer transactions to check the status of the time series buffer.
  Clear or reset the time series buffer if corrupted or locked.
  Restart the planning run or the process that caused the error.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user or process has the necessary authorizations to update the time series buffer.

  Run consistency checks on the planning version and calendar.
  Use SAP standard reports or tools to verify data integrity.
