• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFCS152 - No forecast values exist for reorder point calculations &1 &2 &3 &4 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFCS152 No forecast values exist for reorder point calculations &1 &2 &3 &4
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during the reorder point calculation in SAP's forecasting and materials planning processes. It indicates that the system cannot find any forecast values for the material and plant combination specified. The reorder point calculation relies on forecasted consumption or demand data to determine when to reorder stock. If no forecast data exists, the system cannot calculate a reorder point.
  The placeholders (&1, &2, &3, &4) typically represent:
  
  &1 = Material number
  &2 = Plant
  &3 = Forecast profile or forecast version
  &4 = Possibly the period or other relevant parameter
  
  Common causes include:
  
  No forecast has been created or saved for the material in the specified plant.
  Forecast data has been deleted or not maintained.
  Incorrect or missing forecast profile/version assignment.
  Forecast horizon or periods do not cover the time frame needed for reorder point calculation.
  Forecast data exists but is not released or active.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Forecast Data:
  
  Use transaction MP30 (Display Forecast) or MP31 (Create Forecast) to verify if forecast values exist for the material and plant.
  Alternatively, check forecast data in transaction MC (Forecasting Cockpit) or transaction MC.9 (Forecast Evaluation).
  
  
  
  Create or Update Forecast:
  
  If no forecast exists, create a forecast for the material using historical consumption data.
  Ensure the forecast profile and version are correctly assigned and active.
  
  
  
  Check Forecast Profile and Version:
  
  Verify that the forecast profile assigned to the material is correct and that the forecast version is valid.
  Use transaction MP30 or MP31 to maintain or adjust forecast profiles.
  
  
  
  Check Forecast Period:
  
  Ensure the forecast covers the periods required for reorder point calculation.
  Adjust forecast horizon if necessary.
  
  
  
  Re-run Reorder Point Calculation:
  
  After ensuring forecast data exists, re-run the reorder point calculation using transaction MD61 (Create Planned Independent Requirements) or the relevant planning transaction.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Verify settings in SPRO under Logistics ? Production ? Material Requirements Planning ? Forecast ? Forecast Profiles.
  Ensure that the forecast profile is correctly configured to generate forecast values.
