  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.
