How To Fix WFCS211 - Forecast results are only simulated

WFCS211 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 211

• Message text: Forecast results are only simulated

What causes this issue?

The program is in simulation mode.

System Response

The system runs the forecast, but the results are not saved to the
database. A list of the forecast results is displayed in online mode.
However, the system creates an application log for each plant, that is
saved to the database. You can view the log using transaction WFCSL01.
The log contains essential information on errors or information that
would also be given in posting mode.
The simulation mode is only intended for test purposes. You can use the
simulation mode to check whether master data or movement data that may
be needed for the forecast run is missing. The system does not save the
results from the simulation mode.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

WFCS211 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WFCS211: Forecast results are only simulated
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  The message WFCS211 indicates that the forecast results you are viewing or working with are simulated results, not actual saved or committed forecast data. This typically happens when you run a forecast simulation or preview without saving the forecast to the database.
  In other words, the system has generated forecast data based on your input parameters, but this data exists only temporarily in memory or in a simulation mode. It has not been saved as an official forecast version or committed for further processing.
  
  Common Scenarios Leading to WFCS211:
  
  Running a forecast simulation in transaction /SAPAPO/SDP94 or /SAPAPO/SDP90 without saving the forecast.
  Viewing forecast results immediately after a simulation run.
  Using planning functions or reports that display simulated forecast data.
  Forecasting in APO Demand Planning (DP) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) where the forecast is previewed but not saved.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
