• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFCS108 - No period total (PERAN=ANZPR=0) in forecast master data &1 &2 &3 &4 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS108 No period total (PERAN=ANZPR=0) in forecast master data &1 &2 &3 &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to process forecast data, but the forecast master data for the specified material, plant, or forecast period does not contain any period totals. Specifically, the fields PERAN (period indicator) and ANZPR (number of periods) indicate that no forecast periods or quantities are maintained.
  In other words, the forecast master data exists but does not have any forecast values entered for the relevant periods, so the system cannot calculate or use the forecast.
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  You are running a forecast-related transaction or report (e.g., planning run, forecast evaluation, or consumption-based planning).
  The system attempts to read forecast data for a material but finds no forecast quantities or period totals.
  The error message WFCS108 is triggered, indicating missing or incomplete forecast data.
  
  
  Technical Details:
  
  PERAN = Period indicator (e.g., weeks, months)
  ANZPR = Number of forecast periods maintained
  If ANZPR = 0, it means no forecast periods are defined or no forecast quantities are entered.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Forecast Master Data:
  
  Use transaction MP30 (Maintain Forecast) or MP31 (Change Forecast) to check the forecast data for the material and plant.
  Verify that forecast quantities are entered for the relevant periods.
  If no forecast data exists, enter the forecast quantities for the required periods.
  
  
  
  Maintain Forecast Periods:
  
  Ensure that the forecast periods are correctly defined and that the number of periods (ANZPR) is greater than zero.
  If necessary, adjust the forecast horizon or period indicator.
  
  
  
  Check Forecast Profile:
  
  Verify the forecast profile settings in customizing (transaction SPRO) under:
  Logistics ? Production ? Demand Management ? Forecast ? Define Forecast Profiles
  Ensure that the forecast profile assigned to the material is correct and active.
  
  
  
  Re-run Forecast:
  
  If forecast data is missing because the forecast run was not executed, run the forecast again using transaction MP30 or the relevant planning run.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Check for inconsistencies or data corruption in forecast tables (e.g., table S024 or MARC forecast fields).
  If necessary, delete and re-enter forecast data.
